View In My Bible
1
Now the years of Sarah's life were a hundred and twenty-seven.
2
And Sarah's death took place in Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron, in the land of Canaan: and Abraham went into his house, weeping and sorrowing for Sarah.
3
And Abraham came from his dead and said to the children of Heth,
4
I am living among you as one from a strange country: give me some land here as my property, so that I may put my dead to rest.
5
And in answer the children of Heth said to Abraham,
6
My lord, truly you are a great chief among us; take the best of our resting-places for your dead; not one of us will keep back from you a place where you may put your dead to rest.
