After Abraham’s victory of faith in chapter 22, we now transition our focus on Isaac. But before this, Sarah dies. This chapter serves two main purposes for us: It shows Abraham’s connection to the Land of Canaan (the Promised Land) as his home land; and it serves as a downpayment for God’s future fulfillment in the day that He gives Abraham all that He has promised him.
After Lot separates from Abram, God renews His covenant promise with Abram. However, this time He expands it to INCLUDE Abram himself (Genesis 12:7). However, by the time Abraham dies this promise remains unfulfilled. So what does this mean? This is the principle of resurrection that is taught in the Old Testament.
