Abraham was old One hundred and forty years of age, as appears by comparing Genesis 21:5, with Genesis 25:20. This was about three years after Sarah's death, and when Isaac was forty years old.

The Lord had blessed Abraham in all things And yet Abraham had many and severe trials; but even these were blessings in disguise.
