Sarah lived one hundred and twenty-seven years; these were the years of the life of Sarah.
2
So Sarah died in Kirjath Arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.
3
Then Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
4
"I am a foreigner and a visitor among you. Give me property for a burial place among you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
5
And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
6
"Hear us, my lord: You are a mighty prince among us; bury your dead in the choicest of our burial places. None of us will withhold from you his burial place, that you may bury your dead."
