2 H8283 And Sarah H4191 died [H8799] H7153 in Kirjatharba H2275 ; the same is Hebron H776 in the land H3667 of Canaan H85 : and Abraham H935 came [H8799] H5594 to mourn [H8800] H8283 for Sarah H1058 , and to weep [H8800] for her.

3 H85 And Abraham H6965 stood up [H8799] H6440 from before H4191 his dead [H8801] H1696 , and spake [H8762] H1121 unto the sons H2845 of Heth H559 , saying [H8800] ,

4 H1616 I am a stranger H8453 and a sojourner H5414 with you: give [H8798] H272 me a possession H6913 of a buryingplace H6912 with you, that I may bury [H8799] H4191 my dead [H8801] H6440 out of my sight.

5 H1121 And the children H2845 of Heth H6030 answered [H8799] H85 Abraham H559 , saying [H8800] unto him,

6 H8085 Hear us [H8798] H113 , my lord H430 : thou art a mighty H5387 prince H8432 among us H4005 : in the choice H6913 of our sepulchres H6912 bury [H8798] H4191 thy dead [H8801] H3808 ; none H376 H3607 of us shall withhold [H8799] H6913 from thee his sepulchre H6912 , but that thou mayest bury [H8800] H4191 thy dead [H8801] .

7 H85 And Abraham H6965 stood up [H8799] H7812 , and bowed [H8691] H5971 himself to the people H776 of the land H1121 , even to the children H2845 of Heth.

8 H1696 And he communed [H8762] H559 with them, saying [H8800] H3426 , If it be H5315 your mind H6912 that I should bury [H8800] H4191 my dead [H8801] H6440 out of my sight H8085 ; hear [H8798] H6293 me, and intreat [H8798] H6085 for me to Ephron H1121 the son H6714 of Zohar,

9 H5414 That he may give [H8799] H4631 me the cave H4375 of Machpelah H7097 , which he hath, which is in the end H7704 of his field H4392 ; for as much H3701 money H4392 as it is worth H5414 he shall give it [H8799] H272 me for a possession H6913 of a buryingplace H8432 amongst you.

10 H6085 And Ephron H3427 dwelt [H8802] H8432 among H1121 the children H2845 of Heth H6085 : and Ephron H2850 the Hittite H6030 answered [H8799] H85 Abraham H241 in the audience H1121 of the children H2845 of Heth H935 , even of all that went in [H8802] H8179 at the gate H5892 of his city H559 , saying [H8800] ,

11 H3808 Nay H113 , my lord H8085 , hear me [H8798] H7704 : the field H5414 give I [H8804] H4631 thee, and the cave H5414 that is therein, I give it [H8804] H5869 thee; in the presence H1121 of the sons H5971 of my people H5414 give [H8804] H6912 I it thee: bury [H8798] H4191 thy dead [H8801] .

12 H85 And Abraham H7812 bowed down [H8691] H6440 himself before H5971 the people H776 of the land.

13 H1696 And he spake [H8762] H6085 unto Ephron H241 in the audience H5971 of the people H776 of the land H559 , saying [H8800] H3863 , But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee H8085 , hear [H8798] H5414 me: I will give [H8804] H3701 thee money H7704 for the field H3947 ; take [H8798] H6912 it of me, and I will bury [H8799] H4191 my dead [H8801] there.

14 H6085 And Ephron H6030 answered [H8799] H85 Abraham H559 , saying [H8800] unto him,

15 H113 My lord H8085 , hearken [H8798] H776 unto me: the land H702 is worth four H3967 hundred H8255 shekels H3701 of silver H996 ; what is that betwixt H6912 me and thee? bury [H8798] H4191 therefore thy dead [H8801] .

16 H85 And Abraham H8085 hearkened [H8799] H6085 unto Ephron H85 ; and Abraham H8254 weighed [H8799] H6085 to Ephron H3701 the silver H1696 , which he had named [H8765] H241 in the audience H1121 of the sons H2845 of Heth H702 , four H3967 hundred H8255 shekels H3701 of silver H5674 , current [H8802] H5503 money with the merchant [H8802] .

17 H7704 And the field H6085 of Ephron H4375 , which was in Machpelah H6440 , which was before H4471 Mamre H7704 , the field H4631 , and the cave H6086 which was therein, and all the trees H7704 that were in the field H1366 , that were in all the borders H5439 round about H6965 , were made sure [H8799]

18 H85 Unto Abraham H4736 for a possession H5869 in the presence H1121 of the children H2845 of Heth H935 , before all that went in [H8802] H8179 at the gate H5892 of his city.

19 H310 And after H3651 this H85 , Abraham H6912 buried [H8804] H8283 Sarah H802 his wife H4631 in the cave H7704 of the field H4375 of Machpelah H6440 before H4471 Mamre H2275 : the same is Hebron H776 in the land H3667 of Canaan.

20 H7704 And the field H4631 , and the cave H6965 that is therein, were made sure [H8799] H85 unto Abraham H272 for a possession H6913 of a buryingplace H1121 by the sons H2845 of Heth.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And the life of Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years: these were the years of the life of Sarah. ² And Sarah died in Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron), in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her. ³ And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spake unto the children of Heth, saying, ⁴ I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight. ⁵ And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him, ⁶ Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead. ⁷ And Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth. ⁸ And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar, ⁹ that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for the full price let him give it to me in the midst of you for a possession of a buryingplace. ¹⁰ Now Ephron was sitting in the midst of the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying, ¹¹ Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead. ¹² And Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land. ¹³ And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt, I pray thee, hear me: I will give the price of the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there. ¹⁴ And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him, ¹⁵ My lord, hearken unto me: a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead. ¹⁶ And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the children of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current [money] with the merchant. ¹⁷ So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the border thereof round about, were made sure ¹⁸ unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city. ¹⁹ And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (the same is Hebron), in the land of Canaan. ²⁰ And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the children of Heth.
