Genesis 23:1-4

1Sarah lived 127 years.

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

3Then Abraham got up from mourning his dead wife and said to the sons of Heth,

4“I am a temporary settler among you. Grant me ownership of a burial site among you so that I may bury my dead.”
