Dual Panel1Sarah <08283> lived <02416> 127 <07651> <06242> <08141> <03967> years <08141>.
2Then she <08283> died <04191> in Kiriath Arba <07153> (that <01931> is, Hebron <02275>) in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>. Abraham <085> went <0935> to mourn <05594> for Sarah <08283> and to weep <01058> for her.
3Then Abraham <085> got up <06965> from <06440> mourning his dead <04191> wife and said <01696> to <0413> the sons <01121> of Heth <02845>,
4“I <0595> am a temporary <01616> settler <08453> among you. Grant <05414> me ownership <0272> of a burial site <06913> among <05973> you so that I may bury <06912> my dead <04191>.”
5The sons <01121> of Heth <02845> answered <06030> Abraham <085>,
6“Listen <08085>, sir <0113>, you <0859> are a mighty <0430> prince <05387> among <08432> us! You may bury <06912> your dead <04191> in the choicest <04005> of our tombs <06913>. None <03808> of us will refuse <03607> you his tomb <06913> to prevent you from <04480> burying <06912> your dead <04191>.”
7Abraham <085> got up <06965> and bowed down <07812> to the local <0776> people <05971>, the sons <01121> of Heth <02845>.
8Then he said <01696> to <0854> them, “If <0518> you agree <05315> <03426> that I may bury <06912> my dead <04191>, then hear <08085> me out. Ask <06293> Ephron <06085> the son <01121> of Zohar <06714>
9if he will sell <05414> me the cave <04631> of Machpelah <04375> that <0834> belongs to <0834> him; it is at the end <07097> of his field <07704>. Let him sell <05414> it to me publicly <08432> for the full <04392> price <03701>, so that I may own <0272> it as a burial site <06913>.”
10(Now Ephron <06085> was sitting <03427> among <08432> the sons <01121> of Heth <02845>.) Ephron <06085> the Hethite <02850> replied <06030> to Abraham <085> in the hearing <0241> of the sons <01121> of Heth <02845>– before all <03605> who entered <0935> the gate <08179> of his city <05892>–
11“No <03808>, my lord <0113>! Hear <08085> me out. I sell <05414> you both the field <07704> and the cave <04631> that <0834> is in it. In the presence <05869> of my people <05971> <01121> I sell <05414> it to you. Bury <06912> your dead <04191>.”
12Abraham <085> bowed <07812> before <06440> the local <0776> people <05971>
13and said <01696> to <0413> Ephron <06085> in their hearing <0241>, “Hear <08085> me, if <0518> you <0859> will. I pay <05414> to you the price <03701> of the field <07704>. Take <03947> it from <04480> me so that I may bury <06912> my dead <04191> there <08033>.”
14Ephron <06085> answered <06030> Abraham <085>, saying <0559> to him,
15“Hear <08085> me, my lord <0113>. The land <0776> is worth 400 <03967> <0702> pieces <08255> of silver <03701>, but what <04100> is that <01931> between <0996> me and you? So bury <06912> your dead <04191>.”
16So Abraham <085> agreed <08085> to <0413> Ephron’s <06085> price and weighed out <08254> for him <085> the price <03701> that Ephron <06085> had <0834> quoted <01696> in the hearing <0241> of the sons <01121> of Heth <02845>– 400 <03967> <0702> pieces <08255> of silver <03701>, according to the standard <05674> measurement <05503> at the time.
17So Abraham secured <06965> Ephron’s <06085> field <07704> in Machpelah <04375>, next to <06440> Mamre <04471>, including the field <07704>, the cave <04631> that <0834> was in it, and all <03605> the trees <06086> that <0834> were in the field <07704> and all <03605> around <05439> its border <01366>,
18as his <085> property <04736> in the presence <05869> of the sons <01121> of Heth <02845> before all <03605> who entered <0935> the gate <08179> of Ephron’s city <05892>.
19After <0310> this <03651> Abraham <085> buried <06912> his wife <0802> Sarah <08283> in <0413> the cave <04631> in the field <07704> of Machpelah <04375> next to <06440> <05921> Mamre <04471> (that <01931> is, Hebron <02275>) in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>.
20So Abraham <085> secured <06965> the field <07704> and the cave <04631> that <0834> was in it as a burial <06913> site <0272> from the sons <01121> of Heth <02845>.
