Book 01 Genesis Chapter 023

 

023:001And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these
were the years of the life of Sarah.

 

023:002And 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.

 

023:003And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the
sons of Heth, saying,

 

023:004I 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.

 

023:005And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,

 

023:006Hear 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.

 

023:007And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the
land, even to the children of Heth.

 

023:008And 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,

 

023:009That 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.

 

023:010And 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,

 

023:011Nay, 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.

 

023:012And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land.

 

023:013And 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.

 

023:014And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,

 

023:015My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred
shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury
therefore thy dead.

 

023:016And 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.

 

023:017And 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

 

023:018Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children
of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.

 

023:019And 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.

 

023:020And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure
unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of
Heth.
