<\/br><strong>2<\/strong> And Sarah&#8217;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. <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> And Abraham came from his dead and said to the children of Heth, <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> And in answer the children of Heth said to Abraham, <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> And Abraham got up and gave honour to the children of Heth, the people of that land. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> And he said to them, If you will let me put my dead to rest here, make a request for me to Ephron, the son of Zohar, <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> That he will give me the hollow in the rock named Machpelah, which is his property at the end of his field; let him give it to me for its full price as a resting-place for my dead among you. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> Now Ephron was seated among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite gave Abraham his answer in the hearing of the children of Heth, and of all those who came into his town, saying, <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> No, my lord, I will give you the field with the hollow in the rock; before all the children of my people will I give it to you for a resting-place for your dead. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> And Abraham went down on his face before the people of the land. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> And Abraham said to Ephron, in the hearing of the people of the land, If only you will give ear to me, I will give you the price of the field; take it, and let me put my dead to rest there. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> So Ephron said to Abraham, <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> My lord, give ear to me: the value of the land is four hundred shekels; what is that between me and you? so put your dead to rest there. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> And Abraham took note of the price fixed by Ephron in the hearing of the children of Heth, and gave him four hundred shekels in current money. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> So Ephron&#8217;s field at Machpelah near Mamre, with the hollow in the rock and all the trees in the field and round it, <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> Became the property of Abraham before the eyes of the children of Heth and of all who came into the town. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> Then Abraham put Sarah his wife to rest in the hollow rock in the field of Machpelah near Mamre, that is, Hebron in the land of Canaan. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> And the field and the hollow rock were handed over to Abraham as his property by the children of Heth. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client =
