Genesis 23:1-6

1Now Sarah lived 127 years; these were all the years of her life.

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

3When Abraham got up from beside his dead wife, he spoke to the Hethites:

4“I am an alien residing among you. Give me burial property among you so that I can bury my dead.”

5The Hethites replied to Abraham,

6“Listen to us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in our finest burial place. None of us will withhold from you his burial place for burying your dead.”
