1And the lifeH2416 of SarahH8283 was an hundredH3967 and sevenH7651 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141: these were the yearsH8141 of the lifeH2416 of SarahH8283.

2And SarahH8283 diedH4191 in Kiriath-arbaH7153 (the sameH1931 is HebronH2275), in the landH776 of CanaanH3667: and AbrahamH85 cameH935 to mournH5594 for SarahH8283, and to weepH1058 for herH935.

3And AbrahamH85 roseH6965 upH6965 from beforeH6440 his deadH4191, and spake unto the childrenH1121 of HethH2845, sayingH559,

4I am a strangerH1616 and a sojournerH8453 with youH5414: giveH5414 meH5414 a possessionH272 of a buryingplace with youH5414, that I may buryH6912 my deadH4191 outH6440 of my sightH6440.

5And the childrenH1121 of HethH2845 answeredH559 AbrahamH85, sayingH559 unto him,

6HearH8085 usH4480, my lordH113: thou art a mightyH430 princeH5387 among usH4480: in the choiceH4005 of our sepulchres buryH6912 thy deadH4191; noneH3808 of usH4480 shall withholdH3607 from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest buryH6912 thy deadH4191.
