And Sara was a hundred and twenty seven years old: these were the years of Sara’s life.

I am a foreigner and a resident among you. Grant me the possession of a grave site with you, so that I may bury my dead from my presence.

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.

A stranger [from a different land] and a dweller am I with you. Give me a (land) holding for a burial plot with you so that I may bury my dead one from before me.

The sons of Cheis replied to Avraham saying to him,

And the children of Ḥet answered Avraham, saying to him,

And the sons of Cheth answered Abraham, saying to him:

Hear us my master, you are a prince of God in our midst. Bury your dead in the choicest of our grave sites. No man among us will deny his grave site from you to bury your dead.

Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall with- hold from thee his tomb, but that thou mayst bury thy dead.

Hear us, my lord, you are a prince of G-d in our midst. In the choicest of our plots bury your dead one; none of us will hold back his plot from you from burying your dead one.

Avraham rose and bowed to the people of the land, the sons of Cheis.

And Avraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Ḥet.

And he spoke 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 ῾Efron the son of Żoĥar,

And he spoke to them, saying: If it is your will to bury my dead one from before me, hear me and petition Efron the son of Tzochar for me.

Let him give me the Machpeilah [double] cave, which belongs to him, which is at the end of his field. Let him give [sell] it to me for its full value, as a grave site among you.

that he may give me the cave of Makhpela, which he has, which is in the end of his field; for the full price he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you.

And let him give me the doubled cave [(so called because it had an upper and a lower story or because it was "doubled with pairs")], which he has, which is at the end of his field. For its full value let him give it (i.e., sell it) to me, in your midst as holding for a burial plot.

And Efron was sitting in the midst of the sons of Cheth, [having that day been appointed an officer in consideration of Abraham's being beholden to him]. And Efron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the sons of Cheth, for all who had come to the gate of his city [(All had left their work to come to pay respect to Sarah)], saying:

No, my master, hear me: I have given you the field, and the cave that is in it, I have [also] given to you. Before the eyes of the sons of my people I have given it to you. Bury your dead.

No, my lord, hear me: the field I give thee, and the cave that is in it, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people I give it thee: bury thy dead.

No, my lord, [do not pay for it], hear me. The field — I have given it to you; and the cave that is in it, to you have I given it. Before the eyes of the sons of my people have I given it to you — bury your dead one.

And he spoke to ῾Efron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee the price of the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.

And he spoke to Efron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying: But if you would only hear me. I have set aside the money for the field — take it from me and let me bury my dead one there.

Ephron replied to Avraham, saying to him,

And ῾Efron answered Avraham, saying to him,

And Efron answered Abraham, saying to him:

My master, hear me. A land [worth] four hundred silver shekel—what is that between me and you? Bury your dead.

My lord, hearken to me: a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that between me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.

My lord, hear me. Land worth four hundred shekels of silver, between [lovers like] you and me, what is it? [Forget about it] and bury your dead one.

Avraham listened to Ephron, and Avraham weighed out for Ephron the silver that he spoke of in the hearing of the sons of Cheis, four hundred silver shekel, negotiable currency.
