Genesis 23:1-4

1Sarah lived to be a hundred and twenty-seven years old.

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

3Then Abraham rose from beside his dead wife and spoke to the Hittites. He said,

4“I am a foreigner and stranger among you. Sell me some property for a burial site here so I can bury my dead.”
