Genesis 23

1And the life of Sarah^H8283 was^H2416 a hundred^H3967 and seven^H7651 and twenty^H6242 years^H8141: these were the years^H8141 of the life^H2416 of Sarah^H8283. 2And Sarah^H8283 died^H4191 in Kiriath-arba^H7153 (the same is Hebron^H2275), in the land^H776 of Canaan^H3667: and Abraham^H85 came^H935 to mourn^H5594 for Sarah^H8283, and to weep^H1058 for her. 3And Abraham^H85 rose up^H6965 from before^H6440 his dead^H4191, and spake^H1696 unto the children^H1121 of Heth^H2845, saying^H559, 4I am a stranger^H1616 and a sojourner^H8453 with you: give^H5414 me a possession^H272 of a burying-place^H6913 with you, that I may bury^H6912 my dead^H4191 out of my sight^H6440. 5And the children^H1121 of Heth^H2845 answered^H6030 Abraham^H85, saying^H559 unto him, 6Hear us^H8085, my lord^H113; thou art a prince^H5387 of God^H430 among us^H8432: in the choice^H4005 of our sepulchres^H6913 bury^H6912 thy dead^H4191; none^H3808 of us shall withhold^H3607 from thee his sepulchre^H6913, but that thou mayest bury^H6912 thy dead^H4191. 7And Abraham^H85 rose up^H6965, and bowed^H7812 himself to the people^H5971 of the land^H776, even to the children^H1121 of Heth^H2845. 8And he communed^H1696 with them, saying^H559, If it be^H3426 your mind^H5315 that I should bury^H6912 my dead^H4191 out of my sight^H6440, hear^H8085 me, and entreat^H6293 for me to Ephron^H6085 the son^H1121 of Zohar^H6714, 9that he may give^H5414 me the cave^H4631 of Machpelah^H4375, which he hath, which is in the end^H7097 of his field^H7704; for the^H4392 full^H4392 price^H3701 let him give it^H5414 to me in the midst of you^H8432 for a possession^H272 of a burying-place^H6913. 10Now Ephron^H6085 was sitting^H3427 in the midst^H8432 of the children^H1121 of Heth^H2845: and Ephron^H6085 the Hittite^H2850 answered^H6030 Abraham^H85 in the audience^H241 of the children^H1121 of Heth^H2845, even of all that went in^H935 at the gate^H8179 of his city^H5892, saying^H559, 11Nay^H3808, my lord^H113, hear me^H8085: the field^H7704 give I^H5414 thee, and the cave^H4631 that is therein, I give it^H5414 thee; in the presence^H5869 of the children^H1121 of my people^H5971 give^H5414 I it thee: bury^H6912 thy dead^H4191. 12And Abraham^H85 bowed himself down^H7812 before^H6440 the people^H5971 of the land^H776. 13And he spake^H1696 unto Ephron^H6085 in the audience^H241 of the people^H5971 of the land^H776, saying^H559, But if thou wilt, I pray thee, hear^H8085 me: I will give^H5414 the price^H3701 of the field^H7704; take^H3947 it of me, and I will bury^H6912 my dead^H4191 there. 14And Ephron^H6085 answered^H6030 Abraham^H85, saying^H559 unto him, 15My lord^H113, hearken^H8085 unto me: a piece of land^H776 worth four^H702 hundred^H3967 shekels^H8255 of silver^H3701, what is that betwixt^H996 me and thee? bury^H6912 therefore thy dead^H4191. 16And Abraham^H85 hearkened^H8085 unto Ephron^H6085; and Abraham^H85 weighed^H8254 to Ephron^H6085 the silver^H3701 which he had named^H1696 in the audience^H241 of the children^H1121 of Heth^H2845, four^H702 hundred^H3967 shekels^H8255 of silver^H3701, current^H5674 money with the merchant^H5503. 17So the field^H7704 of Ephron^H6085, which was in Machpelah^H4375, which was before^H6440 Mamre^H4471, the field^H7704, and the cave^H4631 which was therein, and all the trees^H6086 that were in the field^H7704, that were in all the border^H1366 thereof round about^H5439, were made sure^H6965 18unto Abraham^H85 for a possession^H4736 in the presence^H5869 of the children^H1121 of Heth^H2845, before all that went in^H935 at the gate^H8179 of his city^H5892. 19And after^H310 this^H3651, Abraham^H85 buried^H6912 Sarah^H8283 his wife^H802 in the cave^H4631 of the field^H7704 of Machpelah^H4375 before^H6440 Mamre^H4471 (the same is Hebron^H2275), in the land^H776 of Canaan^H3667. 20And the field^H7704, and the cave^H4631 that is therein, were made sure^H6965 unto Abraham^H85 for a possession^H272 of a burying-place^H6913 by the children^H1121 of Heth^H2845.
