1Now the years of Sarah's life were a hundred and twenty-seven.
2And 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.
3And Abraham came from his dead and said to the children of Heth,
4I 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.
5And in answer the children of Heth said to Abraham,
6My 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.
7And Abraham got up and gave honour to the children of Heth, the people of that land.
