Noah Webster's Bible 1833

 

   

23:1And Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.
23:2And Sarah died in Kirjath-arba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: And Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
23:3And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
23:4I am a stranger and a sojourner with you; give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
23:5And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
23:6Hear us, my lord; thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchers bury thy dead: none of us will withhold from thee his sepulcher, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.
23:7And Abraham stood up and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth.
23:8And he communed with them, saying, If it is your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
23:9That 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 burying-place among you.
23:10And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, of all that entered the gates of his city, saying,
23:11Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I to thee, and the cave that is in it, I give it to thee; in the presence of the sons of my people I give it to thee: bury thy dead.
23:12And Abraham bowed himself before the people of the land.
23:13And he spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field: take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.
23:14And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
23:15My lord, hearken to me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
23:16And Abraham hearkened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
23:17And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field and the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure
23:18To Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that entered the gate of his city.
23:19And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah, before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
23:20And the field, and the cave that is in it were made sure to Abraham for a possession of a burying-place, by the sons of Heth.

Noah Webster's Bible 1833

While Noah Webster, just a few years after producing his famous Dictionary of the English Language, produced his own modern translation of the English Bible in 1833; the public remained too loyal to the King James Version for Webster’s version to have much impact.
