Genesis 23

KJV

1  And Sarah⁸²⁸³ was¹⁹⁶¹ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ and twenty⁶²⁴² years⁸¹⁴¹ old:²⁴¹⁶ these were the years⁸¹⁴¹ of the life²⁴¹⁶ of Sarah.⁸²⁸³

2  And Sarah⁸²⁸³ died⁴¹⁹¹ in Kirjath-arba;⁷¹⁵³ the same¹⁹³¹ is Hebron²²⁷⁵ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Canaan:³⁶⁶⁷ and Abraham⁸⁵ came⁹³⁵ to mourn⁵⁵⁹⁴ for Sarah,⁸²⁸³ and to weep¹⁰⁵⁸ for her.

3  And Abraham⁸⁵ stood up⁶⁹⁶⁵ from before^{4480 5921 6440} his dead,⁴¹⁹¹ and spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ the sons¹¹²¹ of Heth,²⁸⁴⁵ saying,⁵⁵⁹

4  I⁵⁹⁵ am a stranger¹⁶¹⁶ and a sojourner⁸⁴⁵³ with⁵⁹⁷³ you: give⁵⁴¹⁴ me a possession²⁷² of a burial place⁶⁹¹³ with⁵⁹⁷³ you, that I may bury⁶⁹¹² my dead⁴¹⁹¹ out of my sight.^{4480 6440}

5  And the children¹¹²¹ of Heth²⁸⁴⁵ answered^{6030 853} Abraham,⁸⁵ saying⁵⁵⁹ unto him,

6  Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ us, my lord:¹¹³ thou⁸⁵⁹ art a mighty⁴³⁰ prince⁵³⁸⁷ among⁸⁴³² us: in the choice⁴⁰⁰⁵ of our sepulchers⁶⁹¹³ bury^{6912 853} thy dead;⁴¹⁹¹ none^{376 3808} of⁴⁴⁸⁰ us shall withhold³⁶⁰⁷ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ thee ⁸⁵³ his sepulcher,⁶⁹¹³ but that thou mayest bury^{4480 6912} thy dead.⁴¹⁹¹

7  And Abraham⁸⁵ stood up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and bowed himself⁷⁸¹² to the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land,⁷⁷⁶ even to the children¹¹²¹ of Heth.²⁸⁴⁵

8  And he communed¹⁶⁹⁶ with⁸⁵⁴ them, saying,⁵⁵⁹ If⁵¹⁸ it be^{3426 853} your mind⁵³¹⁵ that I should bury^{6912 853} my dead⁴¹⁹¹ out of my sight;^{4480 6440} hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ me, and entreat⁶²⁹³ for me to Ephron⁶⁰⁸⁵ the son¹¹²¹ of Zohar,⁶⁷¹⁴

9  That he may give⁵⁴¹⁴ me ⁸⁵³ the cave⁴⁶³¹ of Machpelah,⁴³⁷⁵ which⁸³⁴ he hath, which⁸³⁴ is in the end⁷⁰⁹⁷ of his field;⁷⁷⁰⁴ for as much money³⁷⁰¹ as it is worth⁴³⁹² he shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ it me for a possession²⁷² of a burial place⁶⁹¹³ amongst⁸⁴³² you.

10  And Ephron⁶⁰⁸⁵ dwelt³⁴²⁷ among⁸⁴³² the children¹¹²¹ of Heth:²⁸⁴⁵ and Ephron⁶⁰⁸⁵ the Hittite²⁸⁵⁰ answered^{6030 853} Abraham⁸⁵ in the audience²⁴¹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Heth,²⁸⁴⁵ even of all³⁶⁰⁵ that went in⁹³⁵ at the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of his city,⁵⁸⁹² saying,⁵⁵⁹

11  Nay,³⁸⁰⁸ my lord,¹¹³ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ me: the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ give⁵⁴¹⁴ I thee, and the cave⁴⁶³¹ that⁸³⁴ is therein, I give⁵⁴¹⁴ it thee; in the presence⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the sons¹¹²¹ of my people⁵⁹⁷¹ give⁵⁴¹⁴ I it thee: bury⁶⁹¹² thy dead.⁴¹⁹¹

12  And Abraham⁸⁵ bowed down himself⁷⁸¹² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land.⁷⁷⁶

13  And he spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ Ephron⁶⁰⁸⁵ in the audience²⁴¹ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land,⁷⁷⁶ saying,⁵⁵⁹ But³⁸⁹ if⁵¹⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ wilt give it, I pray thee,³⁸⁶³ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ me: I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee money³⁷⁰¹ for the field;⁷⁷⁰⁴ take³⁹⁴⁷ it of⁴⁴⁸⁰ me, and I will bury^{6912 853} my dead⁴¹⁹¹ there.⁸⁰³³

14  And Ephron⁶⁰⁸⁵ answered^{6030 853} Abraham,⁸⁵ saying⁵⁵⁹ unto him,

15  My lord,¹¹³ hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto me: the land⁷⁷⁶ is worth four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shekels⁸²⁵⁵ of silver;³⁷⁰¹ what⁴¹⁰⁰ is that¹⁹³¹ between⁹⁹⁶ me and thee? bury⁶⁹¹² therefore thy dead.⁴¹⁹¹

16  And Abraham⁸⁵ hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ Ephron;⁶⁰⁸⁵ and Abraham⁸⁵ weighed⁸²⁵⁴ to Ephron^{6085 853} the silver,³⁷⁰¹ which⁸³⁴ he had named¹⁶⁹⁶ in the audience²⁴¹ of the sons¹¹²¹ of Heth,²⁸⁴⁵ four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shekels⁸²⁵⁵ of silver,³⁷⁰¹ current⁵⁶⁷⁴ money with the merchant.⁵⁵⁰³

17  And the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ of Ephron,⁶⁰⁸⁵ which⁸³⁴ was in Machpelah,⁴³⁷⁵ which⁸³⁴ was before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Mamre,⁴⁴⁷¹ the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ and the cave⁴⁶³¹ which⁸³⁴ was therein, and all³⁶⁰⁵ the trees⁶⁰⁸⁶ that⁸³⁴ were in the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ that⁸³⁴ were in all³⁶⁰⁵ the borders¹³⁶⁶ round about,⁵⁴³⁹ were made sure⁶⁹⁶⁵

18  Unto Abraham⁸⁵ for a possession⁴⁷³⁶ in the presence⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Heth,²⁸⁴⁵ before all³⁶⁰⁵ that went in⁹³⁵ at the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of his city.⁵⁸⁹²

19  And after³¹⁰ this,³⁶⁵¹ Abraham⁸⁵ buried^{6912 853} Sarah⁸²⁸³ his wife⁸⁰² in⁴¹³ the cave⁴⁶³¹ of the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ of Machpelah⁴³⁷⁵ before^{5921 6440} Mamre:⁴⁴⁷¹ the same¹⁹³¹ is Hebron²²⁷⁵ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Canaan.³⁶⁶⁷

20  And the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ and the cave⁴⁶³¹ that⁸³⁴ is therein, were made sure⁶⁹⁶⁵ unto Abraham⁸⁵ for a possession²⁷² of a burial place⁶⁹¹³ by^{4480 854} the sons¹¹²¹ of Heth.²⁸⁴⁵

1 ἐγένετο δὲ ἡ ζωὴ Σαρρας ἔτη ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι ἑπτά

2 καὶ ἀπέθανεν Σαρρα ἐν πόλει Αρβοκ ἥ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ κοιλώματι αὕτη ἐστὶν Χεβρων ἐν γῇ Χανααν ἦλθεν δὲ Αβρααμ κόψασθαι Σαρραν καὶ πενθῆσαι

3 καὶ ἀνέστη Αβρααμ ἀπὸ τοῦ νεκροῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς υἱοῖς Χετ λέγων

4 πάροικος καὶ παρεπίδημος ἐγώ εἰμι μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν δότε οὖν μοι κτῆσιν τάφου μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν καὶ θάψω τὸν νεκρόν μου ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ

5 ἀπεκρίθησαν δὲ οἱ υἱοὶ Χετ πρὸς Αβρααμ λέγοντες

6 μή κύριε ἄκουσον δὲ ἡμῶν βασιλεὺς παρὰ θεοῦ εἶ σὺ ἐν ἡμῖν ἐν τοῖς ἐκλεκτοῖς μνημείοις ἡμῶν θάψον τὸν νεκρόν σου οὐδεὶς γὰρ ἡμῶν τὸ μνημεῖον αὐτοῦ κωλύσει ἀπὸ σοῦ τοῦ θάψαι τὸν νεκρόν σου ἐκεῖ

7 ἀναστὰς δὲ Αβρααμ προσεκύνησεν τῷ λαῷ τῆς γῆς τοῖς υἱοῖς Χετ

8 καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς Αβρααμ λέγων εἰ ἔχετε τῇ ψυχῇ ὑμῶν ὥστε θάψαι τὸν νεκρόν μου ἀπὸ προσώπου μου ἀκούσατέ μου καὶ λαλήσατε περὶ ἐμοῦ Εφρων τῷ τοῦ Σααρ

9 καὶ δότω μοι τὸ σπήλαιον τὸ διπλοῦν ὅ ἐστιν αὐτῷ τὸ ὂν ἐν μέρει τοῦ ἀγροῦ αὐτοῦ ἀργυρίου τοῦ ἀξίου δότω μοι αὐτὸ ἐν ὑμῖν εἰς κτῆσιν μνημείου

10 Εφρων δὲ ἐκάθητο ἐν μέσῳ τῶν υἱῶν Χετ ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Εφρων ὁ Χετταῖος πρὸς Αβρααμ εἶπεν ἀκουόντων τῶν υἱῶν Χετ καὶ πάντων τῶν εἰσπορευομένων εἰς τὴν πόλιν λέγων

11 παρ᾽ ἐμοὶ γενοῦ κύριε καὶ ἄκουσόν μου τὸν ἀγρὸν καὶ τὸ σπήλαιον τὸ ἐν αὐτῷ σοι δίδωμι ἐναντίον πάντων τῶν πολιτῶν μου δέδωκά σοι θάψον τὸν νεκρόν σου

12 καὶ προσεκύνησεν Αβρααμ ἐναντίον τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς γῆς

13 καὶ εἶπεν τῷ Εφρων εἰς τὰ ὦτα τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς γῆς ἐπειδὴ πρὸς ἐμοῦ εἶ ἄκουσόν μου τὸ ἀργύριον τοῦ ἀγροῦ λαβὲ παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ καὶ θάψω τὸν νεκρόν μου ἐκεῖ

14 ἀπεκρίθη δὲ Εφρων τῷ Αβρααμ λέγων

15 οὐχί κύριε ἀκήκοα γῆ τετρακοσίων διδράχμων ἀργυρίου ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ τί ἂν εἴη τοῦτο σὺ δὲ τὸν νεκρόν σου θάψον

16 καὶ ἤκουσεν Αβρααμ τοῦ Εφρων καὶ ἀπεκατέστησεν Αβρααμ τῷ Εφρων τὸ ἀργύριον ὃ ἐλάλησεν εἰς τὰ ὦτα τῶν υἱῶν Χετ τετρακόσια δίδραχμα ἀργυρίου δοκίμου ἐμπόροις

17 καὶ ἔστη ὁ ἀγρὸς Εφρων ὃς ἦν ἐν τῷ διπλῷ σπηλαίῳ ὅς ἐστιν κατὰ πρόσωπον Μαμβρη ὁ ἀγρὸς καὶ τὸ σπήλαιον ὃ ἦν ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ πᾶν δένδρον ὃ ἦν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ ὅ ἐστιν ἐν τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτοῦ κύκλῳ

18 τῷ Αβρααμ εἰς κτῆσιν ἐναντίον τῶν υἱῶν Χετ καὶ πάντων τῶν εἰσπορευομένων εἰς τὴν πόλιν

19 μετὰ ταῦτα ἔθαψεν Αβρααμ Σαρραν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ σπηλαίῳ τοῦ ἀγροῦ τῷ διπλῷ ὅ ἐστιν ἀπέναντι Μαμβρη αὕτη ἐστὶν Χεβρων ἐν τῇ γῇ Χανααν

20 καὶ ἐκυρώθη ὁ ἀγρὸς καὶ τὸ σπήλαιον ὃ ἦν ἐν αὐτῷ τῷ Αβρααμ εἰς κτῆσιν τάφου παρὰ τῶν υἱῶν Χετ

1 Vixit autem Sara centum viginti septem annis.

2 Et mortua est in civitate Arbee, quæ est Hebron, in terra Chanaan: venitque Abraham ut plangeret et fleret eam.

3 Cumque surrexisset ab officio funeris, locutus est ad filios Heth, dicens:

4 Advena sum et peregrinus apud vos: date mihi jus sepulchri vobiscum, ut sepeliam mortuum meum.

5 Responderunt filii Heth, dicentes:

6 Audi nos, domine: princeps Dei es apud nos: in electis sepulchris nostris sepeli mortuum tuum, nullusque te prohibere poterit quin in monumento ejus sepelias mortuum tuum.

7 Surrexit Abraham, et adoravit populum terræ, filios videlicet Heth:

8 dixitque ad eos: Si placet animæ vestræ ut sepeliam mortuum meum, audite me, et intercedite pro me apud Ephron filium Seor:

9 ut det mihi speluncam duplicem, quam habet in extrema parte agri sui: pecunia digna tradat eam mihi coram vobis in possessionem sepulchri.

10 Habitabat autem Ephron in medio filiorum Heth. Responditque Ephron ad Abraham, cunctis audientibus qui ingrediebantur portam civitatis illius, dicens:

11 Nequaquam ita fiat, domine mi, sed tu magis ausculta quod loquor. Agrum trado tibi, et speluncam quæ in eo est, præsentibus filiis populi mei; sepeli mortuum tuum.

12 Adoravit Abraham coram populo terræ.

13 Et locutus est ad Ephron circumstante plebe: Quæso ut audias me: dabo pecuniam pro agro: suscipe eam, et sic sepeliam mortuum meum in eo.

14 Responditque Ephron:

15 Domine mi, audi me: terra, quam postulas, quadringentis siclis argenti valet: istud est pretium inter me et te: sed quantum est hoc? sepeli mortuum tuum.

16 Quod cum audisset Abraham, appendit pecuniam, quam Ephron postulaverat, audientibus filiis Heth, quadringentos siclos argenti probatæ monetæ publicæ.

17 Confirmatusque est ager quondam Ephronis, in quo erat spelunca duplex, respiciens Mambre, tam ipse, quam spelunca, et omnes arbores ejus in cunctis terminis ejus per circuitum,

18 Abrahæ in possessionem, videntibus filiis Heth, et cunctis qui intrabant portam civitatis illius.

19 Atque ita sepelivit Abraham Saram uxorem suam in spelunca agri duplici, quæ respiciebat Mambre. Hæc est Hebron in terra Chanaan.

20 Et confirmatus est ager, et antrum quod erat in eo, Abrahæ in possessionem monumenti a filiis Heth.
