Death and Burial of Sarah

23 Now ^[a]Sarah lived 127 years; these were the years of the life of Sarah. ² Sarah died in ^(A)Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan; and Abraham ^[b]came in to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her. ³ Then Abraham arose from mourning before his dead, and spoke to the ^(B)sons of Heth, saying, ⁴ “I am ^(C)a stranger and a foreign resident among you; ^(D)give me ^[c]a ^(E)burial site among you so that I may bury my dead out of my sight.” ⁵ The sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him, ⁶ “Hear us, my lord: you are a ^[d](F)mighty prince among us; bury your dead in the choicest of our graves; none of us will refuse you his grave for burying your dead.”
