MODULE 6: SESSION 26: Sarah’s Tomb as the Mini Eden
Contextually, the cave of Makpelah evokes the idea of the naked pair and garden imagery an Eden spot. Avraham buying the cave is an act of sacrifice, surrender, and hope. Biblical authors link Avraham and Sarah’s burial site to Eden and to hope for life beyond death.
