Commentary on Genesis 24:1

Theological / Devotional

Abraham was old. The events narrated in this chapter took place 3 years after Sarah’s death (Genesis 23:1), since Sarah was 90 years old at the birth of Isaac, and Isaac was 40 at the time of his marriage with Rebekah (Genesis 25:20). Abraham was about 140 years of age at the time (Genesis 17:17).
