A morte e o sepultamento de Sara
23 Sara viveu cento e vinte e sete anos. 2 Ela morreu na cidade de Hebrom, também chamada Quiriate-Arba, na terra de Canaã. E Abraão chorou a sua morte. 3 Depois saiu do lugar onde estava o corpo e foi falar com os heteus. Ele disse:
4 — Eu sou um estrangeiro que mora no meio de vocês. Portanto, me vendam um pedaço de terra para que eu possa sepultar a minha mulher.
5 Os heteus responderam:
6 — Escute, senhor! O senhor é para nós um chefe poderoso. Sepulte a sua mulher na melhor sepultura que tivermos. Nenhum de nós se negará a dar-lhe a sua sepultura.
7 Aí Abraão se levantou, se curvou diante dos heteus 8 e disse:
— Se vocês querem que eu sepulte a minha mulher aqui, por favor, peçam a Efrom, filho de Zoar, 9 que me venda a caverna de Macpela, que fica na divisa das suas terras. Eu pagarei o preço total e assim serei dono de uma sepultura neste lugar.
10 Efrom estava assentado ali entre eles, no lugar de reunião, perto do portão da cidade. Ele falou em voz alta, para que todos pudessem escutar:
11 — De jeito nenhum, meu senhor. Escute! Eu lhe dou o terreno de presente e também a caverna que fica nele. A minha gente é testemunha de que eu estou lhe dando o terreno de presente, para que o senhor possa sepultar a sua mulher.
12 Mas Abraão tornou a se curvar diante dos heteus 13 e disse a Efrom, de modo que todos pudessem ouvir:
— Escute, por favor! Eu quero comprar o terreno. Diga qual é o preço, que eu pago. E depois sepultarei a minha mulher ali.
14 Efrom respondeu:
15 — Escute, meu senhor! O terreno vale quatrocentas barras de prata. O que é isso entre nós dois? Vá e sepulte ali a sua mulher.
16 Abraão concordou e pesou a quantidade de prata que Efrom havia sugerido diante de todos, isto é, quatro quilos e meio, de acordo com o peso comum usado pelos negociantes. 17 Assim, Abraão se tornou dono da propriedade de Efrom em Macpela, a leste de Manre, isto é, do terreno, da caverna e de todas as árvores, até a divisa da propriedade. 18 Todos os heteus que estavam naquela reunião foram testemunhas dessa compra.
19 Depois disso Abraão sepultou Sara, a sua mulher, na caverna do terreno de Macpela, a leste de Manre, lugar também conhecido pelo nome de Hebrom e que fica na terra de Canaã. 20 Assim, o terreno que pertencia aos heteus e também a caverna que havia ali passaram a ser propriedade de Abraão, para servir como lugar de sepultamento.

23 And Sarah was a hundred twenty-seven years old. So long did she live.
2 Then Sarah died in Kirjath Arba (the same is Hebron, in the land of Canaan). And Abraham came to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.
3 Then Abraham rose up from the sight of his dead and talked with the sons of Heth, saying,
4 “I am a stranger and a foreigner among you. Give me possession of a burial place with you, so that I may bury my dead out of my sight.”
5 Then the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
6 “Hear us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the most chief of our sepulchers. None of us shall forbid you his sepulcher; but you may bury your dead therein.”
7 Then Abraham stood up and bowed himself before the people of the land of the children of Heth.
8 And he communed with them, saying, “If it be your mind that I shall bury my dead out of my sight, hear me and intercede for me with Ephron, the son of Zohar
9 that he would give me the cave of Machpelah, which he has at the end of his field. And that he would give it to me for as much money as it is worth, for a possession in which to bury among you.
10 Then Ephron dwelt among the sons of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of all the sons of Heth who went in at the gates of his city, saying,
11 “No, my Lord, hear me. I give the field to you. And I give the cave that is therein to you. In the presence of the sons of my people, I give it to you, to bury your dead.”
12 Then Abraham bowed himself before the people of the land,
13 and spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the country, saying, “Seeing you will give it, please hear me. I will give the price of the field. Receive it from me and I will bury my dead there.”
14 Ephron then answered Abraham, saying to him,
15 “My lord, listen to me. The land is worth four hundred shekels of silver. What is that between me and you? Therefore, bury your dead.”
16 So Abraham listened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed the silver which he had named to Ephron in the audience of the sons of Heth: four hundred silver shekels of current money among merchants.
17 So the field of Ephron (in Machpelah and over against Mamre), the field and the cave that was therein—and all the trees that were in the field which were in all the borders all around—was deeded
18 to Abraham for a possession in the sight of the sons of Heth and of all who went in at the gates of his city.
19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah, his wife, in the cave of the field of Machpelah over against Mamre. The same is Hebron, in the land of Canaan.
20 Thus the field, and the cave that is therein, were deeded to Abraham for a possession of burial by the sons of Heth.

The Death of Sarah
23 Sarah lived to be a hundred and twenty-seven years old. 2 She died at Kiriath Arba(A) (that is, Hebron)(B) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham went to mourn for Sarah and to weep over her.(C)
3 Then Abraham rose from beside his dead wife and spoke to the Hittites.[a](D) He said, 4 “I am a foreigner and stranger(E) among you. Sell me some property for a burial site here so I can bury my dead.(F)”
5 The Hittites replied to Abraham, 6 “Sir, listen to us. You are a mighty prince(G) among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our tombs. None of us will refuse you his tomb for burying your dead.”
7 Then Abraham rose and bowed down before the people of the land, the Hittites. 8 He said to them, “If you are willing to let me bury my dead, then listen to me and intercede with Ephron son of Zohar(H) on my behalf 9 so he will sell me the cave of Machpelah,(I) which belongs to him and is at the end of his field. Ask him to sell it to me for the full price as a burial site among you.”
10 Ephron the Hittite was sitting among his people and he replied to Abraham in the hearing of all the Hittites(J) who had come to the gate(K) of his city. 11 “No, my lord,” he said. “Listen to me; I give[b](L) you the field, and I give[c] you the cave that is in it. I give[d] it to you in the presence of my people. Bury your dead.”
12 Again Abraham bowed down before the people of the land 13 and he said to Ephron in their hearing, “Listen to me, if you will. I will pay the price of the field. Accept it from me so I can bury my dead there.”
14 Ephron answered Abraham, 15 “Listen to me, my lord; the land is worth four hundred shekels[e] of silver,(M) but what is that between you and me? Bury your dead.”
16 Abraham agreed to Ephron’s terms and weighed out for him the price he had named in the hearing of the Hittites: four hundred shekels of silver,(N) according to the weight current among the merchants.(O)
17 So Ephron’s field in Machpelah(P) near Mamre(Q)—both the field and the cave in it, and all the trees within the borders of the field—was deeded 18 to Abraham as his property(R) in the presence of all the Hittites(S) who had come to the gate(T) of the city. 19 Afterward Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave in the field of Machpelah(U) near Mamre (which is at Hebron(V)) in the land of Canaan.(W) 20 So the field and the cave in it were deeded(X) to Abraham by the Hittites as a burial site.(Y)

23 And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.
2 And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
3 And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons 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 stood 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 intreat 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 as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you.
10 And Ephron dwelt among 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 down himself 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 give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for 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: the land is 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 sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
17 And 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 borders 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 sons of Heth.
