RF GEN 23:1 The Death of Sarah.
Now the life of Sarah was one hundred and twenty-seven years, the whole of the life of Sarah;
RF GEN 23:2 and Sarah died in Kiriath-Arba, 2 in the land of Canaan; and Abraham came to mourn and lament for Sarah.

2 "Now Hebron," is also an ancient explanatory note.—F.F.
RF GEN 23:3 Then Abraham rose up from the presence of his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth saying;
RF GEN 23:4 "I am a foreigner and wanderer with you, give me the possession of a grave among you, and I can bury my dead from my sight."
RF GEN 23:5 And the sons of Heth replied to Abraham,
RF GEN 23:6 "We listen to my lord, who stands like a god among us. Choose from our tombs a grave for your dead. None of us will deny his tomb to you, where you can bury your dead."
RF GEN 23:7 Then Abraham rose up, and bowed to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth,
RF GEN 23:8 and addressed them saying; "If it is in your minds to let my dead be buried from my sight, listen to me, and apply for me to Ephron, the son of Tzohar,
RF GEN 23:9 and let him sell to me the Cave of Macphelah, which is within the boundaries of his land. He shall sell it to me for full value as a tomb possessed among you."
RF GEN 23:10 Now Ephron resided among the sons of Heth, and Ephron spoke after Abraham, in the hearing of the sons of Heth, to all who came to the gates of the town, saying;
RF GEN 23:11 "No, my lord, listen to me! I give you the field, and the cave that is in it; I give it to you in the presence of the sons of my people; I give it to you as a grave to bury your dead."
RF GEN 23:12 Then Abraham bowed to the people of the land;
RF GEN 23:13 and addressed Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying; "Nay, if you are disposed to listen to me, I will pay you money for the field; so accept it from me and I will bury my dead there."
RF GEN 23:14 Then Ephron, in reply to Abraham said;
RF GEN 23:15 "My lord, listen to me; for four hundred shekels of money between me and you, the land is yours, and you can bury your dead."
RF GEN 23:16 So Abraham listened to Ephron, and Abraham weighed to Ephron the money which he had agreed upon, in the sight of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver currency.
RF GEN 23:17 Thus he bought the field of Ephron, that is in Macphelah, which is opposite Mamrah, the field and the cave which is in it, and all the trees which were in the field, with all the hedge around it.
RF GEN 23:18 Thus Abraham bought it in the presence of the sons of Heth, of all who came to the gate of the town,
RF GEN 23:19 and after that, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Macphelah, opposite Mamrah,1 in the land of Canaan;
RF GEN 23:20 and the field with the cave in it was acquired by Abraham for a burial ground from the sons of Heth.

1 The words, "That is now Hebron," are the note of an ancient editor, not part of the original text, for Hebron had not attained its name in the days of Moses.—F.F.
