Chayei Sarah
“Sarah’s Life”
Genesis 23:1-25:18
1 Kings 1:1-31
John 4:3-14

Genesis 20:1,2 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the
south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and
sojourned in Gerar. And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She
is my sister: And Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

Genesis 23:3,4 And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and
spoke to the sons of Heth, saying, I am a stranger and a sojourner
with you: Give me a possession of a burial plot with you, that I may
bury my dead out of my sight.

Hebrews 11:13 In faith died all these, not having received the
promises, but from afar having seen them, and having been
persuaded, and having saluted them, and having confessed that
strangers and sojourners they are upon the earth,

Ephesians 2:19 Now, therefore, you are no more strangers and
foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and of the household
of God,
While Abraham was considered a stranger and foreigner among the
Gentiles, those Gentiles who come to the faith of Abraham were no
longer to be considered strangers and foreigners to the God of
Abraham.
