What does Genesis 23:1 mean?

About 35 years have passed since the last mention of Abraham's wife Sarah. At that prior incident, a celebration for the weaning of their son, Isaac, Sarah insisted that Ishmael, Isaac's half-brother, should be sent away, along with his mother, Hagar (Genesis 21:10). Sarah is not mentioned in the previous chapter's description of Abraham's near-offering of Isaac in obedience to God's command.

Sarah and Abraham waited a long time to finally have a child of their own. Despite her own doubts, Sarah was finally given the child promised by God, when she was 90 years old (Genesis 17:17). Now Sarah has died at the age of 127, making Abraham around 137 years old and their son Isaac around 37.
