1And Sarah <08283> was an hundred <03967> <08141> and seven <07651> <08141> and twenty <06242> years <08141> old <02416>_: [these were] the years <08141> of the life <02416> of Sarah <08283>_.
2And Sarah <08283> died <04191> (8799) in Kirjatharba <07153>_; the same [is] Hebron <02275> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>_: and Abraham <085> came <0935> (8799) to mourn <05594> (8800) for Sarah <08283>_, and to weep <01058> (8800) for her.
3And Abraham <085> stood up <06965> (8799) from before <06440> his dead <04191> (8801)_, and spake <01696> (8762) unto the sons <01121> of Heth <02845>_, saying <0559> (8800)_,
4I [am] a stranger <01616> and a sojourner <08453> with you: give <05414> (8798) me a possession <0272> of a buryingplace <06913> with you, that I may bury <06912> (8799) my dead <04191> (8801) out of my sight <06440>_.
5And the children <01121> of Heth <02845> answered <06030> (8799) Abraham <085>_, saying <0559> (8800) unto him,
6Hear us <08085> (8798)_, my lord <0113>_: thou [art] a mighty <0430> prince <05387> among us <08432>_: in the choice <04005> of our sepulchres <06913> bury <06912> (8798) thy dead <04191> (8801)_; none <03808> <0376> of us shall withhold <03607> (8799) from thee his sepulchre <06913>_, but that thou mayest bury <06912> (8800) thy dead <04191> (8801)_. {a mighty...: Heb. a prince of God}
7And Abraham <085> stood up <06965> (8799)_, and bowed <07812> (8691) himself to the people <05971> of the land <0776>_, [even] to the children <01121> of Heth <02845>_.
8And he communed <01696> (8762) with them, saying <0559> (8800)_, If it be <03426> your mind <05315> that I should bury <06912> (8800) my dead <04191> (8801) out of my sight <06440>_; hear <08085> (8798) me, and intreat <06293> (8798) for me to Ephron <06085> the son <01121> of Zohar <06714>_,
9That he may give <05414> (8799) me the cave <04631> of Machpelah <04375>_, which he hath, which [is] in the end <07097> of his field <07704>_; for as much <04392> (0) money <03701> as it is worth <04392> he shall give it <05414> (8799) me for a possession <0272> of a buryingplace <06913> amongst you <08432>_. {as much...: Heb. full money}
10And Ephron <06085> dwelt <03427> (8802) among <08432> the children <01121> of Heth <02845>_: and Ephron <06085> the Hittite <02850> answered <06030> (8799) Abraham <085> in the audience <0241> of the children <01121> of Heth <02845>_, [even] of all that went in <0935> (8802) at the gate <08179> of his city <05892>_, saying <0559> (8800)_, {audience: Heb. ears}
11Nay <03808>_, my lord <0113>_, hear me <08085> (8798)_: the field <07704> give I <05414> (8804) thee, and the cave <04631> that [is] therein, I give it <05414> (8804) thee; in the presence <05869> of the sons <01121> of my people <05971> give <05414> (8804) I it thee: bury <06912> (8798) thy dead <04191> (8801)_.
12And Abraham <085> bowed down <07812> (8691) himself before <06440> the people <05971> of the land <0776>_.
13And he spake <01696> (8762) unto Ephron <06085> in the audience <0241> of the people <05971> of the land <0776>_, saying <0559> (8800)_, But if thou [wilt give it], I pray thee <03863>_, hear <08085> (8798) me: I will give <05414> (8804) thee money <03701> for the field <07704>_; take <03947> (8798) [it] of me, and I will bury <06912> (8799) my dead <04191> (8801) there.
14And Ephron <06085> answered <06030> (8799) Abraham <085>_, saying <0559> (8800) unto him,
15My lord <0113>_, hearken <08085> (8798) unto me: the land <0776> [is worth] four <0702> hundred <03967> shekels <08255> of silver <03701>_; what [is] that betwixt <0996> me and thee? bury <06912> (8798) therefore thy dead <04191> (8801)_.
16And Abraham <085> hearkened <08085> (8799) unto Ephron <06085>_; and Abraham <085> weighed <08254> (8799) to Ephron <06085> the silver <03701>_, which he had named <01696> (8765) in the audience <0241> of the sons <01121> of Heth <02845>_, four <0702> hundred <03967> shekels <08255> of silver <03701>_, current <05674> (8802) [money] with the merchant <05503> (8802)_.
17And the field <07704> of Ephron <06085>_, which [was] in Machpelah <04375>_, which [was] before <06440> Mamre <04471>_, the field <07704>_, and the cave <04631> which [was] therein, and all the trees <06086> that [were] in the field <07704>_, that [were] in all the borders <01366> round about <05439>_, were made sure <06965> (8799)
18Unto Abraham <085> for a possession <04736> in the presence <05869> of the children <01121> of Heth <02845>_, before all that went in <0935> (8802) at the gate <08179> of his city <05892>_.
19And after <0310> this <03651>_, Abraham <085> buried <06912> (8804) Sarah <08283> his wife <0802> in the cave <04631> of the field <07704> of Machpelah <04375> before <06440> Mamre <04471>_: the same [is] Hebron <02275> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>_.
20And the field <07704>_, and the cave <04631> that [is] therein, were made sure <06965> (8799) unto Abraham <085> for a possession <0272> of a buryingplace <06913> by the sons <01121> of Heth <02845>_.
