Sarah lived a hundred and twenty-seven years; these were the years of the life of Sarah. | Hebron - Sarah dies. The cave of Machpelah. Gn.23.1-20 | וַיִּהְיוּ חַיֵּי שָׂרָה מֵאָה שָׁנָה וְעֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה וְשֶׁבַע שָׁנִים שְׁנֵי חַיֵּי שָׂרָה׃ |
| 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. | | וַתָּמָת שָׂרָה בְּקִרְיַת אַרְבַּע הִוא חֶבְרֹון בְּאֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן וַיָּבֹא אַבְרָהָם לִסְפֹּד לְשָׂרָה וְלִבְכֹּתָהּ׃ |
| 3 |
And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and said to the Hittites, | | וַיָּקָם אַבְרָהָם מֵעַל פְּנֵי מֵתֹו וַיְדַבֵּר אֶל־בְּנֵי־חֵת לֵאמֹר׃ |
| 4 |
"I am a stranger and a sojourner among you; give me property among you for a burying place, that I may bury my dead out of my sight." | | גֵּר־וְתֹושָׁב אָנֹכִי עִםָּכֶם תְּנוּ לִי אֲחֻזַּת־קֶבֶר עִםָּכֶם וְאֶקְבְּרָה מֵתִי מִלְּפָנָי׃ |
| 5 |
The Hittites answered Abraham, | | וַיַּעֲנוּ בְנֵי־חֵת אֶת־אַבְרָהָם לֵאמֹר לֹו׃ |
| 6 |
"Hear us, my lord; you are a mighty prince among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our sepulchres; none of us will withhold from you his sepulchre, or hinder you from burying your dead." | | שְׁמָעֵנוּ אֲדֹנִי נְשִׂיא אֱלֹהִים אַתָּה בְּתֹוכֵנוּ בְּמִבְחַר קְבָרֵינוּ קְבֹר אֶת־מֵתֶךָ אִישׁ מִמֶּנּוּ אֶת־קִבְרֹו לֹא־יִכְלֶה מִמְּךָ מִקְּבֹר מֵתֶךָ׃ |
| 7 |
Abraham rose and bowed to the Hittites, the people of the land. | | וַיָּקָם אַבְרָהָם וַיִּשְׁתַּחוּ לְעַם־הָאָרֶץ לִבְנֵי־חֵת׃ |
| 8 |
And he said to them, "If you are willing that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me Ephron the son of Zohar, | | וַיְדַבֵּר אִתָּם לֵאמֹר אִם־יֵשׁ אֶת־נַפְשְׁכֶם לִקְבֹּר אֶת־מֵתִי מִלְּפָנַי שְׁמָעוּנִי וּפִגְעוּ־לִי בְּעֶפְרֹון בֶּן־צֹחַר׃ |
| 9 |
that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he owns; it is at the end of his field. For the full price let him give it to me in your presence as a possession for a burying place." | | וְיִתֶּן־לִי אֶת־מְעָרַת הַמַּכְפֵּלָה אֲשֶׁר־לֹו אֲשֶׁר בִּקְצֵה שָׂדֵהוּ בְּכֶסֶף מָלֵא יִתְּנֶנָּה לִי בְּתֹוכְכֶם לַאֲחֻזַּת־קָבֶר׃ |
| 10 |
Now Ephron was sitting among the Hittites; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the Hittites, of all who went in at the gate of his city, | | וְעֶפְרֹון יֹשֵׁב בְּתֹוךְ בְּנֵי־חֵת וַיַּעַן עֶפְרֹון הַחִתִּי אֶת־אַבְרָהָם בְּאָזְנֵי בְנֵי־חֵת לְכֹל בָּאֵי שַׁעַר־עִירֹו לֵאמֹר׃ |
| 11 |
"No, my lord, hear me; I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it; in the presence of the sons of my people I give it to you; bury your dead." | | לֹא־אֲדֹנִי שְׁמָעֵנִי הַשָּׂדֶה נָתַתִּי לָךְ וְהַמְּעָרָה אֲשֶׁר־בֹּו לְךָ נְתַתִּיהָ לְעֵינֵי בְנֵי־עַמִּי נְתַתִּיהָ לָּךְ קְבֹר מֵתֶךָ׃ |
| 12 |
Then Abraham bowed down before the people of the land. | | וַיִּשְׁתַּחוּ אַבְרָהָם לִפְנֵי עַם הָאָרֶץ׃ |
| 13 |
And he said to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, "But if you will, hear me; I will give the price of the field; accept it from me, that I may bury my dead there." | | וַיְדַבֵּר אֶל־עֶפְרֹון בְּאָזְנֵי עַם־הָאָרֶץ לֵאמֹר אַךְ אִם־אַתָּה לוּ שְׁמָעֵנִי נָתַתִּי כֶּסֶף הַשָּׂדֶה קַח מִמֶּנִּי וְאֶקְבְּרָה אֶת־מֵתִי שָׁמָּה׃ |
| 14 |
Ephron answered Abraham, | | וַיַּעַן עֶפְרֹון אֶת־אַבְרָהָם לֵאמֹר לֹו׃ |
| 15 |
"My lord, listen to me; a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between you and me? Bury your dead." | | אֲדֹנִי שְׁמָעֵנִי אֶרֶץ אַרְבַּע מֵאֹת שֶׁקֶל־כֶּסֶף בֵּינִי וּבֵינְךָ מַה־הִוא וְאֶת־מֵתְךָ קְבֹר׃ |
| 16 |
Abraham agreed with Ephron; and Abraham weighed out for Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the Hittites, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the weights current among the merchants. | | וַיִּשְׁמַע אַבְרָהָם אֶל־עֶפְרֹון וַיִּשְׁקֹל אַבְרָהָם לְעֶפְרֹן אֶת־הַכֶּסֶף אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר בְּאָזְנֵי בְנֵי־חֵת אַרְבַּע מֵאֹות שֶׁקֶל כֶּסֶף עֹבֵר לַסֹּחֵר׃ |
| 17 |
So the field of Ephron in Machpelah, which was to the east of Mamre, the field with the cave which was in it and all the trees that were in the field, throughout its whole area, was made over | | וַיָּקָם שְׂדֵה עֶפְרֹון אֲשֶׁר בַּמַּכְפֵּלָה אֲשֶׁר לִפְנֵי מַמְרֵא הַשָּׂדֶה וְהַמְּעָרָה אֲשֶׁר־בֹּו וְכָל־הָעֵץ אֲשֶׁר בַּשָּׂדֶה אֲשֶׁר בְּכָל־גְּבֻלֹו סָבִיב׃ |
| 18 |
to Abraham as a possession in the presence of the Hittites, before all who went in at the gate of his city. | | לְאַבְרָהָם לְמִקְנָה לְעֵינֵי בְנֵי־חֵת בְּכֹל בָּאֵי שַׁעַר־עִירֹו׃ |
| 19 |
After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah east of Mamre (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan. | | וְאַחֲרֵי־כֵן קָבַר אַבְרָהָם אֶת־שָׂרָה אִשְׁתֹּו אֶל־מְעָרַת שְׂדֵה הַמַּכְפֵּלָה עַל־פְּנֵי מַמְרֵא הִוא חֶבְרֹון בְּאֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן׃ |
| 20 |
The field and the cave that is in it were made over to Abraham as a possession for a burying place by the Hittites. | | וַיָּקָם הַשָּׂדֶה וְהַמְּעָרָה אֲשֶׁר־בֹּו לְאַבְרָהָם לַאֲחֻזַּת־קָבֶר מֵאֵת בְּנֵי־חֵת׃ ס |
