23:1 And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old:
[these were] the years of the life of Sarah.
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.
23:3 And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake
unto the sons of Heth, saying,
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.
23:5 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto
him,
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.
23:7 And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of
the land, [even] to the children of Heth.
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 to Ephron the son of Zohar,
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.
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,
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.
23:12 And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the
land.
23:13 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.
23:14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,
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.
23:16 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.
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
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.
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.
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 of Heth.
