1. Sarah lived 127 years; these were the years of the life of Sarah.
2. And Sarah died at Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham went in to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.
3. And Abraham rose up from before his dead and said to the Hittites,
4. “I am a sojourner and foreigner among you; give me property among you for a burying place, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.”
5. The Hittites answered Abraham,
6. “Hear us, my lord; you are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb to hinder you from burying your dead.”
7. Abraham rose and bowed to the Hittites, the people of the land.
