And Sarah
was an hundred
and seven
and twenty
years
old:
these were the years
of the life
of Sarah.
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.

And Abraham
stood up
from before
his dead,
and spake
unto the sons
of Heth,
saying,
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.
And the children
of Heth
answered
Abraham,
saying
unto him,
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.
And Abraham
stood up,
and bowed
himself to the people
of the land,
even to the children
of Heth.
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,

That he may give
me the cave

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.

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.
And Abraham
bowed down
himself before
the people
of the land.
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.

Abraham,

unto him,
My lord,
hearken
unto me: the land
is worth four
hundred

what is that betwixt
me and thee? bury
therefore thy dead.
And Abraham
hearkened
unto Ephron;

four

shekels
of silver,
