Chapter 23.

00:02.870 --> 00:05.790
And Sarah was an hundred and seven and
twenty years old.

00:06.250 --> 00:08.090
These were the years of the life of Sarah.

00:08.550 --> 00:12.490
And Sarah died in Kerjitharba,
the same as Hebron in the land of Canaan.

00:12.790 --> 00:16.130
And Abraham came to mourn for Sarah,
and to weep for her.

00:16.530 --> 00:20.630
And Abraham stood up from before his dead,
and spake unto the sons of Heth,

00:20.730 --> 00:24.250
saying, I am a stranger and a sojourner
with you.

00:24.810 --> 00:30.850
Give me a possession of a burying place
with you, that I may bury my dead out of

00:30.850 --> 00:31.550
my sight.

00:31.810 --> 00:35.830
And the children of Heth answered Abraham,
saying unto him, Hear us, my lord,

00:35.970 --> 00:38.090
thou art a mighty prince among us.

00:38.650 --> 00:41.490
In the choice of our sepulchres,
bury thy dead.

00:41.990 --> 00:46.930
None of us shall withhold from thee his
sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy

00:46.930 --> 00:47.310
dead.

00:47.650 --> 00:51.910
And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to
the people of the land, even to the

00:51.910 --> 00:52.670
children of Heth.

00:52.790 --> 00:57.210
And he communed with them, saying,
If it be your mind that I should bury my

00:57.210 --> 01:02.850
dead out of my sight, hear me,
and entreat for me to Ephron the son of

01:02.850 --> 01:08.770
Zohar, that he may give me the cave of
Machpelah, which he hath which is in the

01:08.770 --> 01:09.870
end of his field.

01:10.390 --> 01:15.070
For as much money as it is worth,
he shall give it me for a possession of a

01:15.070 --> 01:16.990
burying place amongst you.

01:17.610 --> 01:19.850
And Ephron dwelt among the children of
Heth.

01:20.150 --> 01:23.950
And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in
the audience of the children of Heth,

01:23.950 --> 01:28.250
even of all that went in at the gate of
his city, saying, Nay, my lord,

01:28.350 --> 01:28.830
hear me.

01:29.290 --> 01:34.390
The field give I thee, and the cave that
is therein I give it thee.

01:34.870 --> 01:38.870
In the presence of the sons of my people
give I it thee.

01:39.510 --> 01:40.410
Bury thy dead.

01:40.690 --> 01:45.130
And Abraham bowed down himself before the
people of the land, and he spake unto

01:45.130 --> 01:49.210
Ephron in the audience of the people of
the land, saying, But if thou wilt give

01:49.210 --> 01:50.890
it, I pray thee, hear me.

01:50.890 --> 01:53.370
I will give thee money for the field.

01:53.810 --> 01:57.410
Take it of me, and I will bury my dead
there.

01:57.970 --> 02:02.250
And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto
him, My lord, hearken unto me.

02:02.570 --> 02:05.290
The land is worth four hundred shekels of
silver.

02:05.910 --> 02:07.690
What is that betwixt me and thee?

02:08.570 --> 02:10.150
Bury therefore thy dead.

02:10.490 --> 02:14.410
And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron,
and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver

02:14.410 --> 02:18.410
which he had named in the audience of the
sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of

02:18.410 --> 02:20.410
silver, current money with the merchant.

02:21.090 --> 02:24.910
And the field of Ephron which was in
Machpelah which was before Mamre,

02:25.130 --> 02:29.510
the field and the cave which was therein,
and all the trees that were in the field

02:29.510 --> 02:33.710
that were in all the borders round about,
were made sure unto Abraham for a

02:33.710 --> 02:37.810
possession in the presence of the children
of Heth, before all that went in at the

02:37.810 --> 02:38.590
gate of his city.

02:39.210 --> 02:43.850
And after this Abraham buried Sarah his
wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah

02:43.850 --> 02:47.010
before Mamre, the same as Hebron in the
land of Canaan.

02:47.430 --> 02:51.730
And the field and the cave that is therein
were made sure unto Abraham for a

02:51.730 --> 02:54.410
possession of a burying place by the sons
of Heth.
