Gen. 22:24      Gen. 23:2

Genesis 23:1

Sarah lived to be 127 years old [100 years and 20 years and 7 years], these were the years that Sarah lived.
[Sarah's age is written here in an unusual way with the word year (Hebr. shanah) between each part of the numbers. Literally, the Hebrew reads: "one hundred years and twenty years and seven years"; the more common Hebrew way would have been to write "one hundred and twenty and seven years." One interpretation is that this indicates different periods in her life.]
