23:1 And Sarah 8283 was an hundred 3967 8141 and seven 7651 8141 and twenty 6242 years 8141 old 2416: [these were] the years 8141 of the life 2416 of Sarah 8283.

23:2 And Sarah 8283 died 4191 8799 in Kirjatharba 7153; the same [is] Hebron 2275 in the land 776 of Canaan 3667: and Abraham 85 came 935 8799 to mourn 5594 8800 for Sarah 8283, and to weep 1058 8800 for her.

23:3 And Abraham 85 stood up 6965 8799 from before 6440 his dead 4191 8801, and spake 1696 8762 unto the sons 1121 of Heth 2845, saying 559 8800,

23:4 I [am] a stranger 1616 and a sojourner 8453 with you: give 5414 8798 me a possession 272 of a buryingplace 6913 with you, that I may bury 6912 8799 my dead 4191 8801 out of my sight 6440.

23:5 And the children 1121 of Heth 2845 answered 6030 8799 Abraham 85, saying 559 8800 unto him,

23:6 Hear us 8085 8798, my lord 113: thou [art] a mighty 430 prince 5387 among us 8432: in the choice 4005 of our sepulchres 6913 bury 6912 8798 thy dead 4191 8801; none 3808 376 of us shall withhold 3607 8799 from thee his sepulchre 6913, but that thou mayest bury 6912 8800 thy dead 4191 8801.(a mighty…: Heb. a prince of God)

23:7 And Abraham 85 stood up 6965 8799, and bowed 7812 8691 himself to the people 5971 of the land 776, [even] to the children 1121 of Heth 2845.

23:8 And he communed 1696 8762 with them, saying 559 8800, If it be 3426 your mind 5315 that I should bury 6912 8800 my dead 4191 8801 out of my sight 6440; hear 8085 8798 me, and intreat 6293 8798 for me to Ephron 6085 the son 1121 of Zohar 6714,

23:9 That he may give 5414 8799 me the cave 4631 of Machpelah 4375, which he hath, which [is] in the end 7097 of his field 7704; for as much 4392 0 money 3701 as it is worth 4392 he shall give it 5414 8799 me for a possession 272 of a buryingplace 6913 amongst you 8432.(as much…: Heb. full money)

23:10 And Ephron 6085 dwelt 3427 8802 among 8432 the children 1121 of Heth 2845: and Ephron 6085 the Hittite 2850 answered 6030 8799 Abraham 85 in the audience 241 of the children 1121 of Heth 2845, [even] of all that went in 935 8802 at the gate 8179 of his city 5892, saying 559 8800,(audience: Heb. ears)

23:11 Nay 3808, my lord 113, hear me 8085 8798: the field 7704 give I 5414 8804 thee, and the cave 4631 that [is] therein, I give it 5414 8804 thee; in the presence 5869 of the sons 1121 of my people 5971 give 5414 8804 I it thee: bury 6912 8798 thy dead 4191 8801.

23:12 And Abraham 85 bowed down 7812 8691 himself before 6440 the people 5971 of the land 776.

23:13 And he spake 1696 8762 unto Ephron 6085 in the audience 241 of the people 5971 of the land 776, saying 559 8800, But if thou [wilt give it], I pray thee 3863, hear 8085 8798 me: I will give 5414 8804 thee money 3701 for the field 7704; take 3947 8798 [it] of me, and I will bury 6912 8799 my dead 4191 8801 there.

23:14 And Ephron 6085 answered 6030 8799 Abraham 85, saying 559 8800 unto him,

23:15 My lord 113, hearken 8085 8798 unto me: the land 776 [is worth] four 702 hundred 3967 shekels 8255 of silver 3701; what [is] that betwixt 996 me and thee? bury 6912 8798 therefore thy dead 4191 8801.

23:16 And Abraham 85 hearkened 8085 8799 unto Ephron 6085; and Abraham 85 weighed 8254 8799 to Ephron 6085 the silver 3701, which he had named 1696 8765 in the audience 241 of the sons 1121 of Heth 2845, four 702 hundred 3967 shekels 8255 of silver 3701, current 5674 8802 [money] with the merchant 5503 8802.

23:17 And the field 7704 of Ephron 6085, which [was] in Machpelah 4375, which [was] before 6440 Mamre 4471, the field 7704, and the cave 4631 which [was] therein, and all the trees 6086 that [were] in the field 7704, that [were] in all the borders 1366 round about 5439, were made sure 6965 8799

23:18 Unto Abraham 85 for a possession 4736 in the presence 5869 of the children 1121 of Heth 2845, before all that went in 935 8802 at the gate 8179 of his city 5892.

23:19 And after 310 this 3651, Abraham 85 buried 6912 8804 Sarah 8283 his wife 802 in the cave 4631 of the field 7704 of Machpelah 4375 before 6440 Mamre 4471: the same [is] Hebron 2275 in the land 776 of Canaan 3667.
