CHAP. XXIII.
1. AND Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah a 1.1.
2 And Sarah died in Kirjath-arba b 1.2, the same is Hebron c 1.3 in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came ‖ 1.4 to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her d 1.5.
3 And Abraham stood up from before his dead e 1.6, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying,
4 I am a stranger, and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a burying-place f 1.7 with you g 1.8, that I may bury my dead out of my sight h 1.9.
5 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him.
6 Hear us my LORD i 1.10, thou art † 1.11 a mighty prince k 1.12 amongst us, in the choice of our sepul∣chres l 1.13 bury thy dead: none of us shall with-hold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bu∣ry thy dead.
7 And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself m 1.14 to the people of the Land n 1.15, even to the children of Heth o 1.16.
8 And he communed with them, saying, if it be your mind p 1.17 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 ‖ 1.18 Mach∣pelah q 1.19, which he hath, which is in the end of his field: for † 1.20 as much money as it is worth r 1.21, he shall give it me, for a possession of a burying-place amongst you.
