01:022:015 And the angel of the lord called unto Abraham out of heaven
           the second time,

01:022:016 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the lord, for because
           thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son,
           thine only son: 

01:022:017 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will
           multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand
           which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the
           gate of his enemies;

01:022:018 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
           because thou hast obeyed my voice.

01:022:019 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and
           went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.

01:022:020 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told
           Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children
           unto thy brother Nahor;

01:022:021 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father
           of Aram,

01:022:022 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.

01:022:023 And Bethuel begat Rebekah:  these eight Milcah did bear to
           Nahor, Abraham’s brother.

01:022:024 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah,
           and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.

01:023:001 And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old:  these
           were the years of the life of Sarah.

01:023:002 And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same is Hebron in the land
           of Canaan:  and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep
           for her.

01:023:003 And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the
           sons of Heth, saying,

01:023:004 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.

01:023:005 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,

01:023:006 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.

01:023:007 And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the
           land, even to the children of Heth.

01:023:008 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,

01:023:009 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.
