GENESIS

Genesis 23

1And Sara lived a hundred and twenty-seven years.
Genesis 17:17, Genesis 17:17
2And she died in the city of Arbee which is Hebron, in the land of Chanaan: and Abraham came to mourn and weep for her.
Genesis 23:19, Genesis 23:19, Genesis 13:18, Genesis 13:18, 1 Chronicles 6:57
3And after he rose up from the funeral obsequies, he spoke to the children of Heth, saying:
Genesis 10:15, Genesis 10:15, Genesis 23:5, 1 Samuel 26:6, 2 Samuel 23:39
4I am a stranger and sojourner among you: give me the right of a burying place with you, that I may bury my dead.
Hebrews 11:9, 1 Chronicles 29:15, Hebrews 11:9, 1 Chronicles 29:15, Genesis 17:8
5The children of Heth answered, saying:
6My lord, hear us, thou art a prince of God among us: bury thy dead in our principal sepulchres: and no man shall have power to hinder thee from burying thy dead in his sepulchre.
Genesis 24:35, Genesis 24:35, Genesis 14:14, Genesis 14:14, Genesis 21:22
7Abraham rose up, and bowed down to the people of the land, to wit, the children of Heth:
Genesis 18:2, Romans 12:17, Romans 12:18, Genesis 19:1, 1 Peter 3:8
8And said to them: If it please your soul that I should bury my dead, hear me, and intercede for me to Ephron the son of Seor.
1 Kings 2:17, 1 John 2:1, 1 John 2:2, Genesis 25:9, Luke 7:3
9That he may give me the double cave, which he hath in the end of his field: For as much money as it is worth he shall give it me before you, for a possession of a burying place.
Romans 12:17, Romans 13:8, Romans 12:17, Romans 13:8
10Now Ephron dwelt in the midst of the children of Heth. And Ephron made answer to Abraham in the hearing of all that went in at the gate of the city, saying:
Genesis 34:20, Genesis 34:24, Genesis 34:20, Genesis 34:24, Genesis 23:18
11Let it not be so, my lord, but do thou rather hearken to what I say: The field I deliver to thee, and the cave that is therein; in the presence of the children of my people, bury thy dead.
Luke 19:24, Isaiah 32:8, Luke 19:24, Isaiah 32:8, Deuteronomy 19:15
12Abraham bowed down before the people of the land.
Genesis 19:1, Genesis 18:2, Genesis 23:7, Genesis 19:1, Genesis 18:2
13And he spoke to Ephron, in the presence of the people: I beseech thee to hear me: I will give money for the field; take it, and so will I bury my dead in it.
Acts 20:35, Romans 13:8, Colossians 4:5, Hebrews 13:5, Philippians 4:5
14And Ephron answered:
15My lord, hear me. The ground which thou desirest, is worth four hundred sicles of silver: this is the price between me and thee: but what is this? bury thy dead.
Ezekiel 45:12, Ezekiel 45:12, Exodus 30:13, Exodus 30:15, Exodus 30:13
16And when Abraham had heard this, he weighed out the money that Ephron had asked, in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred sicles of silver, of common current money.
Zechariah 11:12, Jeremiah 32:9, Zechariah 11:12, Jeremiah 32:9, Ezekiel 45:12
17And the field that before was Ephron's, wherein was the double cave, looking towards Mambre, both it and the cave, and all the trees thereof, in all its limits round about,
Genesis 25:9, Genesis 50:13, Genesis 25:9, Genesis 50:13, Genesis 23:20
18Was made sure to Abraham for a possession, in the sight of the children of Heth, and of all that went in at the gate of his city.
Jeremiah 32:12, Genesis 34:20, Ruth 4:1, Jeremiah 32:12, Genesis 34:20
19And so Abraham buried Sara, his wife, in the double cave of the field, that looked towards Mambre, this is Hebron in the land of Chanaan.
Genesis 3:19, Genesis 25:9, Genesis 25:10, Genesis 49:29, Genesis 49:32
20And the field was made sure to Abraham, and the cave that was in it, for a possession to bury in, by the children of Heth.
Ruth 4:7, Ruth 4:10, Jeremiah 32:10, Jeremiah 32:14, Ruth 4:7
