And at one hundred and twenty-seven years of age, Sarah was as beautiful as if she had been twenty,

and sinless, as if she were only seven years old.

But her hour was come, Sarah passed away, and Abraham became sad,

Abraham bought land for 400 pieces of silver and buried Sarah, fulfilling his vow.

Life is given to people to do a certain amount of good.

Actions also illuminate the life of man from the day of his birth,

The time of fulfilment of the commandments is the quintessence of the essence of being!

The influence of Sarah’s holiness on people will be felt for many generations to come…

G-d challenged Avraham to marry off his son Yitzhak in a proper manner,

Avraham sent a servant to look for a bride for his son to Haran, to his brother,

The servant found a bride for Yitzhak successfully, as it happens when G-d provides,

And as a consolation to Yitzhak for the death of his mother, Rivka became his favourite wife.

It’s about the marriage between Yitzhak and Rivka,

And it teaches an important and instructive lesson to all Jews, and not only.

It’s very important to choose a life partner,

The consequences of making a mistake here are extremely high.

Abraham married a maid, and she bore him sons,

Not seeing any worthy among them, Abraham gives them a share and removes them from the house.

These sons became the ancestors of the nations of different branches,

But Avraham declares Yitzhak his sole heir.

G-d blessed Yitzhak and His promises to Avraham,

for Yitzhak and his descendants He preserved and extended.

Avraham died at the age of one hundred and seventy-five and after the rite of parting,

He rested in peace in the cave of Machpelah in Hebron beside his wife Sarah.
