1. And Sara lived a hundred and twenty-seven years.
2. And she died in the city of Arbee which is Hebron, in the land of Chanaan: and Abraham came to mourn and weep for her.
3. And after he rose up from the funeral obsequies, he spoke to the children of Heth, saying:
4. I am a stranger and sojourner among you: give me the right of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead.
5. The children of Heth answered, saying:
6. My Lord, hear us, thou art a prince of God among us: bury thy dead in our principle sepulchers: and no man shall have power to hinder thee from burying thy dead in his sepulcher.
