《圣经》（新旧约全书）

北回归线

后来亚伯拉罕从死人面前起来，对赫人说，

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

北回归线

我在你们中间是外人，是寄居的。求你们在这里给我一块地，我好埋葬我的死人，使她不在我眼前。

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

北回归线

赫人回答亚伯拉罕说，
And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him

北回归线

我主请听。你在我们中间是一位尊大的王子，只管在我们最好的坟地里埋葬你的死人。我们没有一人不容你在他的坟地里埋葬你的死人。
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

北回归线

亚伯拉罕就起来，向那地的赫人下拜，
And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth

北回归线

对他们说，你们若有意叫我埋葬我的死人，使她不在我眼前，就请听我的话，为我求琐辖的儿子以弗仑，
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

北回归线

把田头上那麦比拉洞给我。他可以按着足价卖给我，作我在你们中间的坟地。

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

北回归线

当时以弗仑正坐在赫人中间。于是，赫人以弗仑在城门出入的赫人面前对亚伯拉罕说，

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

北回归线

不然，我主请听。我送给你这块田，连田间的洞也送给你，在我同族的人面前都给你，可以埋葬你的死人。

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

北回归线

亚伯拉罕就在那地的人民面前下拜，

And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land
