23:3 ¶
And Abraham°
stood up°°
from before°°°
his dead,°°
and spake°°
unto°
the sons°
of Heth,°
saying,°° |
|
23:4
I am a sojourner and a stranger among you, give me therefore possession of a burying-place among you, and I will bury my dead away from me. |
|
23:4
I°
[am] a stranger°
and a sojourner°
with°
you: give°°
me a possession°
of a buryingplace°
with°
you, that I may bury°°
my dead°°
out of my sight.°° |
|
23:5
And the sons of Heth{gr.Chet} answered to Abraham{gr.Abraam}, saying, Not so, Sir, |
|
23:5
And the children°
of Heth°
answered°°°
Abraham,°
saying°°
unto him, |
|
23:6
but hear us; thou art in the midst of us a king from God; bury thy dead in our choice sepulchres, for not one of us will by any means withhold his sepulchre from thee, so that thou shouldest not bury thy dead there. |
|
23:6
Hear°
us,°°
my adon:°
thou°
[art] a mighty°
prince°
among°
us:°
in the choice°
of our sepulchres°
bury°°°
thy dead;°°
none°°
of°
us shall withhold°°
from°
thee°
his sepulchre,°
but that thou mayest bury°°°
thy dead.°° |
|
23:7
And Abraham{gr.Abraam} rose up and did obeisance to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth{gr.Chet}. |
|
23:7
And Abraham°
stood up,°°
and bowed°°
himself°
to the people°
of the land,°
[even] to the children°
of Heth.° |
|
23:8
And Abraham{gr.Abraam} spoke to them, saying, If ye have it in your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hearken to me, and speak for me to Ephron the son Saar. |
|
23:8
And he communed°°
with°
them, saying,°°
If°
it be°°
your mind°
that I should bury°°°
my dead°°
out of my sight;°°
hear°°
me, and intreat°°
for me to Ephron°
the son°
of Zohar,° |
|
23:9
And let him give me the double cave which he has, which is in a part of his field, let him give it me for the money it is worth for possession of a burying-place among you. |
|
23:9
That he may give°°
me°
the cave°
of Machpelah,°
which°
he hath, which°
[is] in the end°
of his field;°
for as much°°
money°
as it is worth°
he shall give°
it°°
me for a possession°
of a buryingplace°
amongst°
you.° |
|
23:10
Now Ephron was sitting in the midst of the children of Heth{gr.Chet}, and Ephron the Hittite{gr.Chettite} answered Abraham{gr.Abraam} and spoke in the hearing of the sons of Heth{gr.Chet}, and of all who entered the city, saying, |
|
23:10
And Ephron°
dwelt°°
among°
the children°
of Heth:°
and Ephron°
the Hittite°
answered°°°
Abraham°
in the audience°
of the children°
of Heth,°
[even] of all°
that went in°°
at the gate°
of his city,°
saying,°° |
|
23:11
Attend to me, my lord, and hear me, I give to thee the field and the cave which is in it; I have given it thee before all my country men; bury thy dead. |
|
23:11
Nay,°
my adon,°
hear°
me:°°
the field°
give°
I°°
thee, and the cave°
that°
[is] therein, I give°
it°°
thee; in the presence°
of the sons°
of my people°
give°°
I it thee: bury°°
thy dead.°° |
|
23:12
And Abraham{gr.Abraam} did obeisance before the people of the land. |
|
23:12
And Abraham°
bowed down°°
himself°
before°
the people°
of the land.° |
|
23:13
And he said in the ears of Ephron before the people of the land, Since thou art on my side, hear me; take the price of the field from me, and I will bury my dead there. |
|
23:13
And he spake°°
unto°
Ephron°
in the audience°
of the people°
of the land,°
saying,°°
But°
if°
thou°
[wilt give it], I pray thee,°
hear°°
me: I will give°°
thee money°
for the field;°
take°°
[it] of°
me, and I will bury°°°
my dead°°
there.° |
|
23:14
But Ephron answered Abraham{gr.Abraam}, saying, |
|
23:14
And Ephron°
answered°°°
Abraham,°
saying°°
unto him, |
|
23:15
Nay, my lord, I have heard indeed, the land [is worth] four hundred silver didrachms, but what can this be between me and thee? nay, do thou bury thy dead. |
|
23:15
My adon,°
hearken°°
unto me: the land°
[is worth] four°
hundred°
shekels°
of silver;°
what°
[is] that°
betwixt°
me and thee? bury°°
therefore thy dead.°° |
|
23:16
And Abraham{gr.Abraam} hearkened to Ephron, and Abraham{gr.Abraam} rendered to Ephron the money, which he mentioned in the ears of the sons of Heth{gr.Chet}, four hundred didrachms of silver approved with merchants. |
|
23:16
And Abraham°
hearkened°°
unto°
Ephron;°
and Abraham°
weighed°°
to Ephron°°
the silver,°
which°
he had named°°
in the audience°
of the sons°
of Heth,°
four°
hundred°
shekels°
of silver,°
current°°
[money] with the merchant.°° |
|
23:17 ¶
And the field of Ephron, which was in Double Cave, which is opposite Mamre{gr.Mambre}, the field and the cave, which was in it, and every tree which was in the field, and whatever is in its borders round about, were made sure in its borders round about, were made sure |
|
23:17 ¶
And the field°
of Ephron,°
which°
[was] in Machpelah,°
which°
[was] before°
Mamre,°
the field,°
and the cave°
which°
[was] therein, and all°
the trees°
that°
[were] in the field,°
that°
[were] in all°
the borders°
round about,°
were made sure°° |
|
23:18
to Abraham{gr.Abraam} for a possession, before the sons of Heth{gr.Chet}, and all that entered into the city. |
|
23:18
Unto Abraham°
for a possession°
in the presence°
of the children°
of Heth,°
before all°
that went in°°
at the gate°
of his city.° |
|
23:19
After this Abraham{gr.Abraam} buried Sarah{gr.Sarrha} his wife in the Double Cave of the field, which is opposite Mamre{gr.Mambre}, this is Hebron{gr.Chebron} in the land of Canaan{gr.Chanaan}. |
|
23:19
And after°
this,°
Abraham°
buried°°°
Sarah°
his wife°
in°
the cave°
of the field°
of Machpelah°
before°°
Mamre:°
the same°
[is] Hebron°
in the land°
of Canaan.° |
|
23:20
So the field and the cave which was in it were made sure to Abraham{gr.Abraam} for possession of a burying place, by the sons of Heth{gr.Chet}. |
|
23:20
And the field,°
and the cave°
that°
[is] therein, were made sure°°
unto Abraham°
for a possession°
of a buryingplace°
by°°
the sons°
of Heth.° |
