Abraham » He purchases a place for her burial, and buries her in a cave
And Abraham stood up from the corpse, and talked with the sons of Heth saying, "I am a stranger and a foreigner among you; give me a possession to bury in with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight." And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him, read more.
"Hear us, lord, thou art a prince of God among us. In the chiefest of our sepulchers bury thy dead: None of us shall forbid thee his sepulchre, that thou shouldest not bury thy dead therein." Abraham stood up and bowed himself before the people of the land the children of Heth. And he communed with them, saying, "If it be your minds that I shall bury my dead out of my sight, hear me and speak for me to Ephron the son of Zohar: and let him give me the double cave which he hath in the end of his field, for as much money as it is worth; let him give it me in the presence of you, for a possession to bury in." For Ephron dwelled among the children of Heth. Then Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth and of all that went in at the gates of his city, saying, "Not so, my lord, but hear me: The field give I thee, and the cave that therein is, give I thee also. And even in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee to bury thy dead in." Then Abraham bowed himself before the people of the land, and spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the country saying, "I pray thee hear me: I will give silver for the field, take it of me, and so will I bury my dead there." Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him, "My lord, hearken unto me. The land is worth four hundredth sicles of silver: But what is that betwixt thee and me? Bury thy dead." And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron and weighed him the silver which he had said in the audience of the sons of Heth. Even four hundred silver sicles of current money among merchants. Thus was the field of Ephron wherein the double cave is before Mamre - even the field and the cave that is therein, and all the trees of the field which grow in all the borders round about - made sure unto Abraham for a possession, in the sight of the children of Heth and of all that went in at the gates of the city. And then Abraham buried Sara his wife in the double cave of the field that lieth before Mamre, otherwise called Hebron in the land of Canaan. And so both the field and the cave that is therein, was made unto Abraham a sure possession to bury in, of the sons of Heth.
