Genesis 23:1-20 (NASB)
¹ Now Sarah lived one hundred and twenty-seven years; these were the years of the life of Sarah.
² Sarah died in Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan; and Abraham went in to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.
³ Then Abraham rose from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
⁴ “I am a stranger and a sojourner among you; give me a burial site among you that I may bury my dead out of my sight.”
⁵ The sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
⁶ “Hear us, my lord, you are a mighty prince among us; bury your dead in the choicest of our graves; none of us will refuse you his grave for burying your dead.”
⁷ So Abraham rose and bowed to the people of the land, the sons of Heth.
⁸ And he spoke with them, saying, “If it is your wish for me to bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and approach Ephron the son of Zohar for me,
⁹ that he may give me the cave of Machpelah which he owns, which is at the end of his field; for the full price let him give it to me in your presence for a burial site.”
¹⁰ Now Ephron was sitting among the sons of Heth; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the sons of Heth; even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,
¹¹ “No, my lord, hear me; I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the presence of the sons of my people I give it to you; bury your dead.”
¹² And Abraham bowed before the people of the land.
¹³ He spoke to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying, “If you will only please listen to me; I will give the price of the field, accept it from me that I may bury my dead there.”
¹⁴ Then Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
¹⁵ “My lord, listen to me; a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and you? So bury your dead.”
¹⁶ Abraham listened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed out for Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, commercial standard.
¹⁷ So Ephron’s field, which was in Machpelah, which faced Mamre, the field and cave which was in it, and all the trees which were in the field, that were within all the confines of its border, were deeded over
¹⁸ to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.
¹⁹ After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field at Machpelah facing Mamre (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan.
²⁰ So the field and the cave that is in it, were deeded over to Abraham for a burial site by the sons of Heth.
 

Genesis 12:1-20 (NASB)
¹ Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father’s house, To the land which I will show you;
² And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing;
³ And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
⁴ So Abram went forth as the Lord had spoken to him; and Lot went with him. Now Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
⁵ Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his nephew, and all their possessions which they had accumulated, and the persons which they had acquired in Haran, and they set out for the land of Canaan; thus they came to the land of Canaan.
⁶ Abram passed through the land as far as the site of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. Now the Canaanite was then in the land.
⁷ The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the Lord who had appeared to him.
⁸ Then he proceeded from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the Lord and called upon the name of the Lord.
⁹ Abram journeyed on, continuing toward the Negev.
¹⁰ Now there was a famine in the land; so Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was severe in the land.
¹¹ It came about when he came near to Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, “See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman;
¹² and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife’; and they will kill me, but they will let you live.
¹³ “Please say that you are my sister so that it may go well with me because of you, and that I may live on account of you.”
¹⁴ It came about when Abram came into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
¹⁵ Pharaoh’s officials saw her and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
¹⁶ Therefore he treated Abram well for her sake; and gave him sheep and oxen and donkeys and male and female servants and female donkeys and camels.
¹⁷ But the Lord struck Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
¹⁸ Then Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?
¹⁹ “Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her for my wife? Now then, here is your wife, take her and go.”
²⁰ Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him; and they escorted him away, with his wife and all that belonged to him.
