Connection with Abraham dying at a ripe age
God answered this question with a covenant and a look down the years, including the end of Abraham's own life: "You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a ripe old age" (Genesis 15:15). Abraham was eighty-five at most, with no son yet, and it happened as God said (Genesis 25:8).
