Genesis 23:1-4

1Sarah lived a hundred and twenty-seven years; this was the length of the life of Sarah.

2Sarah died in Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham went to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.

3Then Abraham stood up before his dead [wife’s body], and spoke to the sons of Heth (Hittites), saying,

4“I am a stranger and a sojourner (resident alien) among you; give (sell) me property for a burial place among you so that I may bury my dead [in the proper manner].”
