| 23:1 | Ἐγένετο δὲ ἡ ζωὴ Σάρρας ἔτη ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι ἑπτά. |
| 23:2 | καὶ ἀπέθανεν Σάρρα ἐν πόλει Ἀρβόκ, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ κοιλώματι· αὕτη Χεβρὼν ἐν γῇ Χανάαν. ἦλθεν δὲ Ἀβραὰμ κόψασθαι Σάρραν καὶ πενθῆσαι. |
| 23:3 | καὶ ἀνέστη Ἀβραὰμ ἀπὸ τοῦ νεκροῦ αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβραὰμ τοῖς υἱοῖς Χὲτ λέγων |
| 23:4 | Πάροικος καὶ παρεπίδημος ἐγώ εἰμι μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν· δότε οὖν μοι κτῆσιν τάφου μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν, καὶ θάψω τὸν νεκρόν μου ἐκεῖ. |
| 23:5 | ἀπεκρίθησαν δὲ οἱ υἱοὶ Χὲτ πρὸς Ἀβραὰμ λέγοντες |
| 23:6 | Μή, κύριε· ἄκουσον δὲ ἡμῶν. βασιλεὺς παρὰ θεοῦ σὺ εἶ ἐν ἡμῖν· ἐν τοῖς ἐκλεκτοῖς μνημείοις ἡμῶν θάψον τὸν νεκρόν σου· οὐδεὶς γὰρ ἡμῶν τὸ μνημεῖον αὐτοῦ κωλύσει ἀπὸ σοῦ, τοῦ θάψαι τὸν νεκρόν σου ἐκεῖ. |
| 23:7 | ἀναστὰς δὲ Ἀβραὰμ προσεκύνησεν τῷ λαῷ τῆς γῆς, τοῖς υἱοῖς Χέτ. |
| 23:8 | καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ἀβραὰμ λέγων Εἰ ἔχετε τῇ ψυχῇ ὑμῶν ὥστε θάψαι τὸν νεκρόν μου ἀπὸ προσώπου μου, ἀκούσατέ μου καὶ λαλήσατε περὶ ἐμοῦ Ἐφρὼν τῷ τοῦ Σάαρ· |
| 23:9 | καὶ δότω μοι τὸ σπήλαιον τὸ διπλοῦν ὅ ἐστιν αὐτῷ, τὸ ὂν ἐν μερίδι τοῦ ἀγροῦ αὐτοῦ· ἀργυρίου τοῦ ἀξίου δότε μοι αὐτὸ ἐν ὑμῖν εἰς κτῆσιν μνημείου. |
| 23:10 | Ἐφρὼν δὲ ἐκάθητο ἐν μέσῳ τῶν υἱῶν χέτ· ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ἐφρὼν ὁ Χετταῖος πρὸς Ἀβραὰμ εἶπεν, ἀκουόντων τῶν υἱῶν Χὲτ καὶ πάντων τῶν εἰσπορευομένων εἰς τὴν πόλιν, λέγων |
| 23:11 | Παρ᾿ ἐμοὶ γενοῦ, κύριε, καὶ ἄκουσόν μου. τὸν ἀγρὸν καὶ τὸ σπήλαιον τὸ ἐν αὐτῷ σοὶ δίδωμι· ἐναντίον τῶν πολιτῶν μου δέδωκά σοι· θάψον τὸν νεκρόν σου. |
| 23:12 | καὶ προσεκύνησεν Ἀβραὰμ ἐναντίον τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς γῆς· |
| 23:13 | καὶ εἶπεν τῷ Ἐφρὼν εἰς τὰ ὦτα ἐναντίον παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς γῆς Ἐπειδὴ πρὸς ἐμοῦ εἶ, ἄκουσόν μου· τὸ ἀργύριον τοῦ ἀγροῦ λάβε παρ᾿ ἐμοῦ, καὶ θάψον τὸν νεκρόν μου ἐκεῖ. |
| 23:14 | ἀπεκρίθη δὲ Ἐφρὼν τῷ Ἀβραὰμ λέγων |
| 23:15 | Οὐχί, κύριε, ἀκήκοα γάρ· τετρακοσίων διδράχμων ἀργυρίου· ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ τί ἄν τοῦτο; σὺ δὲ τὸν νεκρόν σου θάψον. |
| 23:16 | καὶ ἤκουσεν Ἀβραὰμ τῷ Ἐφρών· καὶ ἀπεκατέστησεν Ἀβραὰμ τῷ Ἐφρὼν τὸ ἀργύριον ὃ ἐλάλησεν εἰς τὰ ὦτα τῶν υἱῶν Χέτ, τετρακόσια δίδραχμα ἀργυρίου δοκίμου ἐντόροις. |
| 23:17 | καὶ ἔστη ὁ ἀγρὸς Ἐφρών, ὃς ἦν ἐν τῷ διπλῷ σπηλαίῳ, ὅς ἐστιν κατὰ πρόσωπον Μαθβρή, ὁ ἀγρὸς καὶ τὸ σπήλαιον ὃ ἦν αὐτῷ, καὶ πᾶν δένδρον ὃ ἦν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, ὅ ἐστιν ἐν τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτοῦ κύκλῳ, |
| 23:18 | τῷ Ἀβραὰμ εἰς κτῆσιν ἐναντίον τῶν υἱῶν Χέτ καὶ πάντων τῶν εἰσπορευομένων εἰς τὴν πόλιν. |
| 23:19 | μετὰ ταῦτα Ἔθαψεν Ἀβραὰμ Σάρραν τὴν γτωαῖκα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ σπηλαίῳ τοῦ ἀγροῦ τῷ διπλῷ, ὅ ἐστιν ἀπέναντι Μαμβρή· αὕτη ἐστὶν Χεβρὼν ἐν τῇ γῇ Χανάαν. |
| 23:20 | καὶ ἐκυρώθη ὁ ἀγρὸς καὶ τὸ σπήλαιον ὃ ἦν αὐτῷ τῷ Ἀβραὰμ εἰς κτῆσιν τάφου πα ἁ τῶν υἱῶν Χέτ. |

What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
