1
And
Sarah
was
an
hundred
and
seven
and
twenty
years
old:
[these
were]
the
years
of
the
life
of
Sarah.
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.
3
And
Abraham
stood
up
from
before
his
dead,
and
spake
unto
the
sons
of
Heth,
saying,
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.
5
And
the
children
of
Heth
answered
Abraham,
saying
unto
him,
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.
7
And
Abraham
stood
up,
and
bowed
himself
to
the
people
of
the
land,
[even]
to
the
children
of
Heth.
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
intreat
for
me
to
Ephron
the
son
of
Zohar,
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.
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,
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.
12
And
Abraham
bowed
down
himself
before
the
people
of
the
land.
13
And
he
spake
unto
Ephron
in
the
audience
of
the
people
of
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.
14
And
Ephron
answered
Abraham,
saying
unto
him,
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.
16
And
Abraham
hearkened
unto
Ephron;
and
Abraham
weighed
to
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.
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
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.
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.
20
And
the
field,
and
the
cave
that
[is]
therein,
were
made
sure
unto
Abraham
for
a
possession
of
a
buryingplace
by
the
sons
of
Heth.
