Chapter .xxiij.
Sara was an hundred and twenty seven years old (for so long lived
she) and then died in a head city called Hebron in the land of
Canaan. Then Abraham came to mourn Sara and to weep for her. And
Abraham stood up from the corpse, and talked with the sons of Heth
saying: I am a stranger and a foreigner among yow, give me a
possession to bury in with you, that I may bury my dead out of my
sight. And the children of Heth answered Abraham saying unto him:
Hear us lord, thou art a prince of God among us. In the chiefest
of our sepulchers bury thy dead: None of us shall forbid thee his
sepulchre, that thou shouldest not bury thy dead therein. Abraham
stood up and bowed himself before the people of the land the
children of Heth. And he communed {comoned} with them saying: If
it be your minds that I shall bury my dead out of my sight, hear
me and speak for me to Ephron the son of Zoar: and let him give me
the double cave which he hath in the end of his field, for as much
money as it is worth, let him give it me in the presence of you,
for a possession to bury in. For Ephron dwelled among the children
of Heth.
