Avraham negotiated with Ephron to buy a plot of land in Chevron, known as Mearas HaMachpelah, for 400 shekels. This cave would be a family burial plot for the next generations.  When Avraham finished mourning for Sarah, he sent his most trusted servant, Eliezer, to find a wife for his son Yitzchak. We learn the Jewish reaction and answer to tragedy, pain, and sorrow.
