23:1 | And Sarah <08283> was an hundred <03967> <08141> and seven <07651> <08141> and twenty <06242> years <08141> old <02416>: [these were] the years <08141> of the life <02416> of Sarah <08283>. |
23:2 | And Sarah <08283> died <04191> (8799) in Kirjatharba <07153>; the same [is] Hebron <02275> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>: and Abraham <085> came <0935> (8799) to mourn <05594> (8800) for Sarah <08283>, and to weep <01058> (8800) for her. |
23:3 | And Abraham <085> stood up <06965> (8799) from before <06440> his dead <04191> (8801), and spake <01696> (8762) unto the sons <01121> of Heth <02845>, saying <0559> (8800), |
23:4 | I [am] a stranger <01616> and a sojourner <08453> with you: give <05414> (8798) me a possession <0272> of a buryingplace <06913> with you, that I may bury <06912> (8799) my dead <04191> (8801) out of my sight <06440>. |
23:5 | And the children <01121> of Heth <02845> answered <06030> (8799) Abraham <085>, saying <0559> (8800) unto him, |
23:6 | Hear us <08085> (8798), my lord <0113>: thou [art] a mighty <0430> prince <05387> among us <08432>: in the choice <04005> of our sepulchres <06913> bury <06912> (8798) thy dead <04191> (8801); none <03808> <0376> of us shall withhold <03607> (8799) from thee his sepulchre <06913>, but that thou mayest bury <06912> (8800) thy dead <04191> (8801). {a mighty...: Heb. a prince of God} |
23:7 | And Abraham <085> stood up <06965> (8799), and bowed <07812> (8691) himself to the people <05971> of the land <0776>, [even] to the children <01121> of Heth <02845>. |
23:8 | And he communed <01696> (8762) with them, saying <0559> (8800), If it be <03426> your mind <05315> that I should bury <06912> (8800) my dead <04191> (8801) out of my sight <06440>; hear <08085> (8798) me, and intreat <06293> (8798) for me to Ephron <06085> the son <01121> of Zohar <06714>, |
23:9 | That he may give <05414> (8799) me the cave <04631> of Machpelah <04375>, which he hath, which [is] in the end <07097> of his field <07704>; for as much <04392> (0) money <03701> as it is worth <04392> he shall give it <05414> (8799) me for a possession <0272> of a buryingplace <06913> amongst you <08432>. {as much...: Heb. full money} |
23:10 | And Ephron <06085> dwelt <03427> (8802) among <08432> the children <01121> of Heth <02845>: and Ephron <06085> the Hittite <02850> answered <06030> (8799) Abraham <085> in the audience <0241> of the children <01121> of Heth <02845>, [even] of all that went in <0935> (8802) at the gate <08179> of his city <05892>, saying <0559> (8800), {audience: Heb. ears} |
23:11 | Nay <03808>, my lord <0113>, hear me <08085> (8798): the field <07704> give I <05414> (8804) thee, and the cave <04631> that [is] therein, I give it <05414> (8804) thee; in the presence <05869> of the sons <01121> of my people <05971> give <05414> (8804) I it thee: bury <06912> (8798) thy dead <04191> (8801). |
23:12 | And Abraham <085> bowed down <07812> (8691) himself before <06440> the people <05971> of the land <0776>. |
23:13 | And he spake <01696> (8762) unto Ephron <06085> in the audience <0241> of the people <05971> of the land <0776>, saying <0559> (8800), But if thou [wilt give it], I pray thee <03863>, hear <08085> (8798) me: I will give <05414> (8804) thee money <03701> for the field <07704>; take <03947> (8798) [it] of me, and I will bury <06912> (8799) my dead <04191> (8801) there. |
23:14 | And Ephron <06085> answered <06030> (8799) Abraham <085>, saying <0559> (8800) unto him, |
23:15 | My lord <0113>, hearken <08085> (8798) unto me: the land <0776> [is worth] four <0702> hundred <03967> shekels <08255> of silver <03701>; what [is] that betwixt <0996> me and thee? bury <06912> (8798) therefore thy dead <04191> (8801). |
23:16 | And Abraham <085> hearkened <08085> (8799) unto Ephron <06085>; and Abraham <085> weighed <08254> (8799) to Ephron <06085> the silver <03701>, which he had named <01696> (8765) in the audience <0241> of the sons <01121> of Heth <02845>, four <0702> hundred <03967> shekels <08255> of silver <03701>, current <05674> (8802) [money] with the merchant <05503> (8802). |
23:17 | And the field <07704> of Ephron <06085>, which [was] in Machpelah <04375>, which [was] before <06440> Mamre <04471>, the field <07704>, and the cave <04631> which [was] therein, and all the trees <06086> that [were] in the field <07704>, that [were] in all the borders <01366> round about <05439>, were made sure <06965> (8799) |
23:18 | Unto Abraham <085> for a possession <04736> in the presence <05869> of the children <01121> of Heth <02845>, before all that went in <0935> (8802) at the gate <08179> of his city <05892>. |
23:19 | And after <0310> this <03651>, Abraham <085> buried <06912> (8804) Sarah <08283> his wife <0802> in the cave <04631> of the field <07704> of Machpelah <04375> before <06440> Mamre <04471>: the same [is] Hebron <02275> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>. |
23:20 | And the field <07704>, and the cave <04631> that [is] therein, were made sure <06965> (8799) unto Abraham <085> for a possession <0272> of a buryingplace <06913> by the sons <01121> of Heth <02845>. |
