And Sarah⁸²⁸³ was an hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ and twenty⁶²⁴² years⁸¹⁴¹ old:²⁴¹⁶ these were the years⁸¹⁴¹ of the life²⁴¹⁶ of Sarah.⁸²⁸³

And Sarah⁸²⁸³ died⁴¹⁹¹ in Kirjatharba;⁷¹⁵³ the same is Hebron²²⁷⁵ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Canaan:³⁶⁶⁷ and Abraham⁸⁵ came⁹³⁵ to mourn⁵⁵⁹⁴ for Sarah,⁸²⁸³ and to weep¹⁰⁵⁸ for her.

And Abraham⁸⁵ stood up⁶⁹⁶⁵ from before⁶⁴⁴⁰ his dead,⁴¹⁹¹ and spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the sons¹¹²¹ of Heth,²⁸⁴⁵ saying,⁵⁵⁹

I am a stranger¹⁶¹⁶ and a sojourner⁸⁴⁵³ with you: give⁵⁴¹⁴ me a possession²⁷² of a buryingplace⁶⁹¹³ with you, that I may bury⁶⁹¹² my dead⁴¹⁹¹ out of my sight.⁶⁴⁴⁰

And the children¹¹²¹ of Heth²⁸⁴⁵ answered⁶⁰³⁰ Abraham,⁸⁵ saying⁵⁵⁹ unto him,

Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ us, my sovereign:¹¹³ thou art a mighty⁴³⁰ prince⁵³⁸⁷ among⁸⁴³² us: in the choice⁴⁰⁰⁵ of our sepulchres⁶⁹¹³ bury⁶⁹¹² thy dead;⁴¹⁹¹ none³⁸⁰⁸ of us³⁷⁶ shall withhold³⁶⁰⁷ from thee his sepulchre,⁶⁹¹³ but that thou mayest bury⁶⁹¹² thy dead.⁴¹⁹¹

And Abraham⁸⁵ stood up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and bowed⁷⁸¹² himself to the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land,⁷⁷⁶ even to the children¹¹²¹ of Heth.²⁸⁴⁵

And he communed¹⁶⁹⁶ with them, saying,⁵⁵⁹ If it be³⁴²⁶ your mind⁵³¹⁵ that I should bury⁶⁹¹² my dead⁴¹⁹¹ out of my sight;⁶⁴⁴⁰ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ me, and intreat⁶²⁹³ for me to Ephron⁶⁰⁸⁵ the son¹¹²¹ of Zohar,⁶⁷¹⁴

That he may give⁵⁴¹⁴ me the cave⁴⁶³¹ of Machpelah,⁴³⁷⁵ which he hath, which is in the end⁷⁰⁹⁷ of his field;⁷⁷⁰⁴ for as much money³⁷⁰¹ as it is worth⁴³⁹² he shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ it me for a possession²⁷² of a buryingplace⁶⁹¹³ amongst⁸⁴³² you.

And Ephron⁶⁰⁸⁵ dwelt³⁴²⁷ among⁸⁴³² the children¹¹²¹ of Heth:²⁸⁴⁵ and Ephron⁶⁰⁸⁵ the Hittite²⁸⁵⁰ answered⁶⁰³⁰ Abraham⁸⁵ in the audience²⁴¹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Heth,²⁸⁴⁵ even of all that went in⁹³⁵ at the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of his city,⁵⁸⁹² saying,⁵⁵⁹

Nay,³⁸⁰⁸ my sovereign,¹¹³ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ me: the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ give⁵⁴¹⁴ I thee, and the cave⁴⁶³¹ that is therein, I give⁵⁴¹⁴ it thee; in the presence⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the sons¹¹²¹ of my people⁵⁹⁷¹ give⁵⁴¹⁴ I it thee: bury⁶⁹¹² thy dead.⁴¹⁹¹

And Abraham⁸⁵ bowed down⁷⁸¹² himself before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land.⁷⁷⁶

And he spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Ephron⁶⁰⁸⁵ in the audience²⁴¹ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land,⁷⁷⁶ saying,⁵⁵⁹ But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee,³⁸⁶³ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ me: I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee money³⁷⁰¹ for the field;⁷⁷⁰⁴ take³⁹⁴⁷ it of me, and I will bury⁶⁹¹² my dead⁴¹⁹¹ there.

And Ephron⁶⁰⁸⁵ answered⁶⁰³⁰ Abraham,⁸⁵ saying⁵⁵⁹ unto him,

My sovereign,¹¹³ hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto me: the land⁷⁷⁶ is worth four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shekels⁸²⁵⁵ of silver;³⁷⁰¹ what is that betwixt⁹⁹⁶ me and thee? bury⁶⁹¹² therefore thy dead.⁴¹⁹¹

And Abraham⁸⁵ hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto Ephron;⁶⁰⁸⁵ and Abraham⁸⁵ weighed⁸²⁵⁴ to Ephron⁶⁰⁸⁵ the silver,³⁷⁰¹ which he had named¹⁶⁹⁶ in the audience²⁴¹ of the sons¹¹²¹ of Heth,²⁸⁴⁵ four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shekels⁸²⁵⁵ of silver,³⁷⁰¹ current⁵⁶⁷⁴ money with the merchant.⁵⁵⁰³

And the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ of Ephron,⁶⁰⁸⁵ which was in Machpelah,⁴³⁷⁵ which was before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Mamre,⁴⁴⁷¹ the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ and the cave⁴⁶³¹ which was therein, and all the trees⁶⁰⁸⁶ that were in the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ that were in all the borders¹³⁶⁶ round about,⁵⁴³⁹ were made sure⁶⁹⁶⁵

Unto Abraham⁸⁵ for a possession⁴⁷³⁶ in the presence⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Heth,²⁸⁴⁵ before all that went in⁹³⁵ at the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of his city.⁵⁸⁹²

And after³¹⁰ this,³⁶⁵¹ Abraham⁸⁵ buried⁶⁹¹² Sarah⁸²⁸³ his wife⁸⁰² in the cave⁴⁶³¹ of the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ of Machpelah⁴³⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Mamre:⁴⁴⁷¹ the same is Hebron²²⁷⁵ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Canaan.³⁶⁶⁷

And the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ and the cave⁴⁶³¹ that is therein, were made sure⁶⁹⁶⁵ unto Abraham⁸⁵ for a possession²⁷² of a buryingplace⁶⁹¹³ by the sons¹¹²¹ of Heth.²⁸⁴⁵
