Chapter 23

1: And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years ofthe life of Sarah.

2: And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: andAbraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.

3: And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying,

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 mysight.

5: And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,

6: Hear us, my lord: 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.

7: And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.

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 entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,

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.

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,

11: Nay, my lord, 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.

12: And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land.

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.

14: And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,
15: My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? burytherefore thy dead.

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.

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

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.

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.

20: And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace bythe sons of Heth.
Genesis 24

...Old Mrs. Watkins awoke one spring morning to find that the river had flooded the entire first floor of her house. Looking out of her window, she saw that the water was still rising. Two men passing by on a rowboat shouted up an invitation to row to safety with them. "No, thank you," Mrs. Watkins replied. "The Lord will provide." The men shrugged and rowed on. By evening, the water level forced Mrs. Watkins to climb on top of the roof for safety. She was spotted by a man in a motorboat, who offered to pick her up. "Don't trouble yourself," she told him. "The Lord will provide." Pretty soon, Mrs. Watkins had to seek refuge atop the chimney. When a Red Cross cutter came by on patrol, she waved it on, shouting, "The Lord will provide." So the boat left, the water rose and the old woman drowned. Dripping wet and thoroughly annoyed, she came through the pearly gates and demande d to speak to God. "What happened?" she cried. "For cryin' out loud, lady," God said, "I sent three boats!"...
