Genesis 23

1And SarahH8283 was an hundredH3967H8141 and twentyH6242 and sevenH7651H8141 yearsH8141 oldH2416: these were the yearsH8141 of the lifeH2416 of SarahH8283. 2And SarahH8283 diedH4191 in KirjatharbaH7153; the same is HebronH2275 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667: and AbrahamH85 cameH935 to mournH5594 for SarahH8283, and to weepH1058 for her.

3And AbrahamH85 stood upH6965 from beforeH6440 his deadH4191, and spokeH1696 to the sonsH1121 of HethH2845, sayingH559, 4I am a strangerH1616 and a sojournerH8453 with you: giveH5414 me a possessionH272 of a buryingplaceH6913 with you, that I may buryH6912 my deadH4191 out of my sightH6440. 5And the childrenH1121 of HethH2845 answeredH6030 AbrahamH85, sayingH559 to him, 6Hear usH8085, my lordH113: thou art a mightyH430 princeH5387 among usH8432: in the choiceH4005 of our sepulchresH6913 buryH6912 thy deadH4191; noneH3808H376 of us shall withholdH3607 from thee his sepulchreH6913, but that thou mayest buryH6912 thy deadH4191.1 7And AbrahamH85 stood upH6965, and bowedH7812 himself to the peopleH5971 of the landH776, to the childrenH1121 of HethH2845. 8And he spokeH1696 with them, sayingH559, If it isH3426 your mindH5315 that I should buryH6912 my deadH4191 out of my sightH6440; hearH8085 me, and entreatH6293 for me to EphronH6085 the sonH1121 of ZoharH6714, 9That he may giveH5414 me the caveH4631 of MachpelahH4375, which he hath, which is in the endH7097 of his fieldH7704; for as muchH4392 moneyH3701 as it is worthH4392 he shall give itH5414 me for a possessionH272 of a buryingplaceH6913 among youH8432.2 10And EphronH6085 dweltH3427 amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of HethH2845: and EphronH6085 the HittiteH2850 answeredH6030 AbrahamH85 in the presenceH241 of the childrenH1121 of HethH2845, of all that enteredH935 the gatesH8179 of his cityH5892, sayingH559,3 11NayH3808, my lordH113, hear meH8085: the fieldH7704 give IH5414 to thee, and the caveH4631 that is in it I give itH5414 to thee; in the presenceH5869 of the sonsH1121 of my peopleH5971 I giveH5414 it to thee: buryH6912 thy deadH4191. 12And AbrahamH85 bowedH7812 himself beforeH6440 the peopleH5971 of the landH776. 13And he spokeH1696 to EphronH6085 in the presenceH241 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776, sayingH559, But if thou wilt give it, I pray theeH3863, hearH8085 me: I will giveH5414 thee moneyH3701 for the fieldH7704; takeH3947 it of me, and I will buryH6912 my deadH4191 there. 14And EphronH6085 answeredH6030 AbrahamH85, sayingH559 to him, 15My lordH113, hearkenH8085 to me: the landH776 is worth fourH702 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701; what is that betweenH996 me and thee? buryH6912 therefore thy deadH4191.

16And AbrahamH85 hearkenedH8085 to EphronH6085; and AbrahamH85 weighedH8254 to EphronH6085 the silverH3701, which he had namedH1696 in the presenceH241 of the sonsH1121 of HethH2845, fourH702 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, currentH5674 money with the merchantH5503. 17And the fieldH7704 of EphronH6085, which was in MachpelahH4375, which was beforeH6440 MamreH4471, the fieldH7704, and the caveH4631 which was in it, and all the treesH6086 that were in the fieldH7704, that were in all the surroundingH5439 bordersH1366, were made sureH6965 18To AbrahamH85 for a possessionH4736 in the presenceH5869 of the childrenH1121 of HethH2845, before all that enteredH935 the gateH8179 of his cityH5892. 19And afterH310 thisH3651, AbrahamH85 buriedH6912 SarahH8283 his wifeH802 in the caveH4631 of the fieldH7704 of MachpelahH4375 beforeH6440 MamreH4471: the same is HebronH2275 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667. 20And the fieldH7704, and the caveH4631 that is in it, were made sureH6965 to AbrahamH85 for a possessionH272 of a buryingplaceH6913 by the sonsH1121 of HethH2845.
