the story of Sarai page 7 by ric gustafson


Sarai heard the ram's horn as the burial procession stopped. The burial chamber was on the outskirts of Harran and stone circular stairs led into the darkness. As they watched in silence, four strong men lowered the stone sarcophagus into the chamber. Normally, pottery, clothing and coins would be placed in the chamber also but Abram would have none of that.
Holding Sarai's hand, Abram faced the crowd gathered at the chamber. " We commit Terah ben Nahor to the Creator returning it to the dust it came from". He looked at the chamber. " May he rest in peace".
As they left, Abram knew it was time for him and Sarai to go where Adonai wanted him to go.
