Genesis 23
1 and lives of Sarah are
becoming hundred and twenty and seven years; years of lives of Sarah. 2 and Sarah
is dying in Kiriath~Arba, she Hebron, in land of
Canaan; and Abraham is coming to wail for Sarah and to lament of her. 3 and Abraham
is arising from over faces of one being dead of him, and speaking to sons of Heth, to say of: 4 sojourner and guest I with you; give to
me holding of tomb with you! And I shall entomb one being dead of me from my
faces. 5 and sons of Heth are answering Abraham, to
say to him. 6 hear us, my lord! Prince of Elohim you in our midst; in choice of
our tombs entomb one being dead of you! Man from us his tomb not shall forbid
from you from to entomb of one being dead of you. 7 and Abraham is arising and bowing
down himself to people of the land, to sons of Heth.
8 and he is speaking with them, to say: if there is soul of you to entomb of
one being dead of me from to my faces; hear me, and intercede for me in Ephron
son of Zohar! 9 and he shall give to me cave of the Machpelah, which to him,
which in end of his field; in full silver he shall give her to me, in midst of
you, for holding of tomb. 10 and Ephron sitting in midst of sons of Heth; and Ephron, the Hittite, is answering Abraham in ears
of sons of Heth; to all ones entering of gateway of
city of him, to say: 11 not, my lord, hear me: I give to you the field and the
cave which in him; to you I give her; to eyes of my people; I give her to you:
entomb one being dead of you! 12 and Abraham is bowing down himself to faces of
people of the land. 13 and he is speaking to Ephron in ears of people of the
land, to say of: yea, if, o that you hear me! I give
silver of the field; take from me, and I shall entomb one being dead of me
there ward. 14 and Ephron is answering Abraham to say of to him: 15 my lord,
hear me! Land of four of hundreds of shekel of silver between me and you, what
she? And one being dead of you entomb! 16 and Abraham is listening to Ephron;
and he is weighing Abraham for Ephron the silver, which he spoke in ears of
sons of Heth: four of hundreds shekel of silver,
passing to one being merchant. 17 and he is being confirmed, field of Ephron,
which in Machpelah, which to faces of Mamre; the field and the cave which in
him; and every of the tree, which in field, which in all of his boundary round
about. 18 to Abraham for acquisition to eyes of sons of Heth;
in all of ones entering of gateway of his city. 19 and after so Abraham
entombed Sarah, his woman; to cave of field of the Machpelah, on faces of Mamre,
she Hebron, in land of Canaan. 20 and the field is being confirmed and the cave,
which in him, to Abraham; for holding of tomb, from with sons of Heth.
