And the life of Sarah{H8283} was{H2416} a hundred{H3967} and seven{H7651} and twenty{H6242} years:{H8141} these were the years{H8141} of the life{H2416} of Sarah.{H8283}

And Sarah{H8283} died{H4191} in Kiriath-arba{H7153} (the same is Hebron),{H2275} in the land{H776} of Canaan:{H3667} and Abraham{H85} came{H935} to mourn{H5594} for Sarah,{H8283} and to weep{H1058} for her.

And Abraham{H85} rose up{H6965} from before{H6440} his dead,{H4191} and spake{H1696} unto the children{H1121} of Heth,{H2845} saying,{H559}

I am a stranger{H1616} and a sojourner{H8453} with you: give{H5414} me a possession{H272} of a burying-place{H6913} with you, that I may bury{H6912} my dead{H4191} out of my sight.{H6440}

And the children{H1121} of Heth{H2845} answered{H6030} Abraham,{H85} saying{H559} unto him,

Hear us,{H8085} my lord;{H113} thou art a prince{H5387} of God{H430} among us:{H8432} in the choice{H4005} of our sepulchres{H6913} bury{H6912} thy dead;{H4191} none{H3808} of us shall withhold{H3607} from thee his sepulchre,{H6913} but that thou mayest bury{H6912} thy dead.{H4191}

And Abraham{H85} rose up,{H6965} and bowed{H7812} himself to the people{H5971} of the land,{H776} even to the children{H1121} of Heth.{H2845}

And he communed{H1696} with them, saying,{H559} If it be{H3426} your mind{H5315} that I should bury{H6912} my dead{H4191} out of my sight,{H6440} hear{H8085} me, and entreat{H6293} for me to Ephron{H6085} the son{H1121} of Zohar,{H6714}

that he may give{H5414} me the cave{H4631} of Machpelah,{H4375} which he hath, which is in the end{H7097} of his field;{H7704} for the{H4392} full{H4392} price{H3701} let him give it{H5414} to me in the midst of you{H8432} for a possession{H272} of a burying-place.{H6913}

Now Ephron{H6085} was sitting{H3427} in the midst{H8432} of the children{H1121} of Heth:{H2845} and Ephron{H6085} the Hittite{H2850} answered{H6030} Abraham{H85} in the audience{H241} of the children{H1121} of Heth,{H2845} even of all that went in{H935} at the gate{H8179} of his city,{H5892} saying,{H559}

Nay,{H3808} my lord,{H113} hear me:{H8085} the field{H7704} give I{H5414} thee, and the cave{H4631} that is therein, I give it{H5414} thee; in the presence{H5869} of the children{H1121} of my people{H5971} give{H5414} I it thee: bury{H6912} thy dead.{H4191}

And Abraham{H85} bowed himself down{H7812} before{H6440} the people{H5971} of the land.{H776}

And he spake{H1696} unto Ephron{H6085} in the audience{H241} of the people{H5971} of the land,{H776} saying,{H559} But if thou wilt, I pray thee, hear{H8085} me: I will give{H5414} the price{H3701} of the field;{H7704} take{H3947} it of me, and I will bury{H6912} my dead{H4191} there.

And Ephron{H6085} answered{H6030} Abraham,{H85} saying{H559} unto him,

My lord,{H113} hearken{H8085} unto me: a piece of land{H776} worth four{H702} hundred{H3967} shekels{H8255} of silver,{H3701} what is that betwixt{H996} me and thee? bury{H6912} therefore thy dead.{H4191}

And Abraham{H85} hearkened{H8085} unto Ephron;{H6085} and Abraham{H85} weighed{H8254} to Ephron{H6085} the silver{H3701} which he had named{H1696} in the audience{H241} of the children{H1121} of Heth,{H2845} four{H702} hundred{H3967} shekels{H8255} of silver,{H3701} current{H5674} [money] with the merchant.{H5503}

So the field{H7704} of Ephron,{H6085} which was in Machpelah,{H4375} which was before{H6440} Mamre,{H4471} the field,{H7704} and the cave{H4631} which was therein, and all the trees{H6086} that were in the field,{H7704} that were in all the border{H1366} thereof round about,{H5439} were made sure{H6965}

unto Abraham{H85} for a possession{H4736} in the presence{H5869} of the children{H1121} of Heth,{H2845} before all that went in{H935} at the gate{H8179} of his city.{H5892}

And after{H310} this,{H3651} Abraham{H85} buried{H6912} Sarah{H8283} his wife{H802} in the cave{H4631} of the field{H7704} of Machpelah{H4375} before{H6440} Mamre{H4471} (the same is Hebron),{H2275} in the land{H776} of Canaan.{H3667}

And the field,{H7704} and the cave{H4631} that is therein, were made sure{H6965} unto Abraham{H85} for a possession{H272} of a burying-place{H6913} by the children{H1121} of Heth.{H2845}
