GE-23:1 And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old:

[these were] the years of the life of Sarah.

GE-23:2 And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same [is] Hebron in

the

land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep

for

her.

GE-23:3 And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake

unto the

sons of Heth, saying,

GE-23:4 I [am] a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a

possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead

out of

my sight.

GE-23:5 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto

him,

GE-23:6 Hear us, my lord: thou [art] a mighty prince among us:

in the

choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall

withhold from

thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.

GE-23:7 And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people

of the

land, [even] to the children of Heth.

GE-23:8 And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind

that I

should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and entreat for me

Ephron the son of Zohar,

GE-23:9 That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he

hath,

which [is] in the end of his field; for as much money as it is

worth

he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst

you.

GE-23:10 And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and

Ephron the

Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth,

[even] of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,

GE-23:11 Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the

cave

that [is] therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons

of my

people give I it thee: bury thy dead.

GE-23:12 And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the

land.

GE-23:13 And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people

the land, saying, But if thou [wilt give it], I pray thee, hear

me: I

will give thee money for the field; take [it] of me, and I will

bury

my dead there.

GE-23:14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,

GE-23:15 My lord, hearken unto me: the land [is worth] four

hundred

shekels of silver; what [is] that betwixt me and thee? bury

therefore

thy dead.

GE-23:16 And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed

Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the

sons of

Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current [money] with the

merchant.

GE-23:17 And the field of Ephron, which [was] in Machpelah,

which

[was] before Mamre, the field, and the cave which [was] therein,

and

all the trees that [were] in the field, that [were] in all the

borders

round about, were made sure

GE-23:18 Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the

children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his

city.

GE-23:19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the

cave of

the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same [is] Hebron in the

land

of Canaan.

GE-23:20 And the field, and the cave that [is] therein, were

made

sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons

Heth.
