Sarah lived one hundred twenty-seven years. This was the length of Sarah's life.
Sarah died in Kiriath Arba (the same is Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the children of Heth, saying,
"I am a stranger and a foreigner living with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight."
The children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
"Hear us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the best of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb. Bury your dead."
Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.
