¹ Or Sara vécut cent vingt-sept ans; ce sont là les années de sa vie.

² Et elle mourut en Kirjath-Arbah, qui est Hébron, au pays de Canaan; et Abraham vint pour plaindre Sara, et pour la pleurer.

³ Et s'étant levé de devant son mort, il parla aux Héthiens, en disant :

⁴ Je suis étranger et forain parmi vous; donnez-moi une possession de sépulcre parmi vous, afin que j'enterre mon mort, [et que je l'ôte] de devant moi.

⁵ Et les Héthiens répondirent à Abraham, et lui dirent :

⁶ Mon Seigneur, écoute-nous; tu es parmi nous un Prince excellent, enterre ton mort dans le plus distingué de nos sépulcres; nul de nous ne te refusera son sépulcre, afin que tu y enterres ton mort.

⁷ Alors Abraham se leva, et se prosterna devant le peuple du pays; [c'est-à-dire], devant les Héthiens.

⁸ Et il leur parla, et dit : S'il vous plaît que j'enterre mon mort, [et que je l'ôte] de devant moi, écoutez-moi, et intercédez pour moi envers Héphron, fils de Tsohar;

⁹ Afin qu'il me cède sa caverne de Macpéla, qui est au bout de son champ; qu'il me la cède au milieu de vous, pour le prix qu'elle vaut, et que je la possède pour en faire un sépulcre.

¹⁰ Or Héphron était assis parmi les Héthiens. Héphron donc Héthien répondit à Abraham, en présence des Héthiens, qui l'écoutaient, savoir de tous ceux qui entraient par la porte de sa ville, en disant :

¹¹ Non, mon Seigneur, écoute-moi : Je te donne le champ, je te donne aussi la caverne qui y est, je te la donne en présence des enfants de mon peuple; enterres-y ton mort.

¹² Et Abraham se prosterna devant le peuple du pays.

¹³ Et il parla à Héphron, tout le peuple du pays l'entendant, et lui dit : S'il te plaît, je te prie, écoute-moi : Je donnerai l'argent du champ; reçois-le de moi, et j'y enterrerai mon mort.

¹⁴ Et Héphron répondit à Abraham, en disant :

¹⁵ Mon Seigneur, écoute-moi : La terre [vaut] quatre cents sicles d'argent entre moi et toi; mais qu'est-ce que cela ? Enterre donc ton mort.

¹⁶ Et Abraham ayant entendu Héphron, lui paya l'argent dont il avait parlé, les Héthiens l'entendant, [savoir] quatre cents sicles d'argent, ayant cours entre les marchands.

¹⁷ Et le champ d'Héphron, qui était en Macpéla au devant de Mamré, tant le champ que la caverne qui y était, et tous les arbres qui étaient dans le champ, et dans tous ses confins tout autour,

¹⁸ Tout fut acquis en propriété à Abraham, en présence des Héthiens, [savoir] de tous ceux qui entraient par la porte de la ville.

¹⁹ Et après cela Abraham enterra Sara sa femme dans la caverne du champ de Macpéla, au devant de Mamré, qui est Hébron, au pays de Canaan.

²⁰ Le champ donc et la caverne qui y est, fut assuré par les Héthiens à Abraham, afin qu'il le possédât pour y faire son sépulcre.

¹ God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

² The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that the ground teems with, and all the fish of the sea are delivered into your hand.

³ Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As the green herb, I have given everything to you.

⁴ But flesh with its life, its blood, you shall not eat.

⁵ I will surely require your blood of your lives. At the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, I will require the life of man.

⁶ Whoever sheds man's blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.

⁷ Be fruitful and multiply. Bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it."

⁸ God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,

⁹ "As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,

¹⁰ and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth.

¹¹ I will establish my covenant with you: all flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood, neither will there ever again be a flood to destroy the earth."

¹² God said, "This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

¹³ I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be for a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.

¹⁴ It will happen, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,

¹⁵ and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

¹⁶ The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."

¹⁷ God said to Noah, "This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth."

¹⁸ The sons of Noah who went forth from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.

¹⁹ These three were the sons of Noah, and from these, the whole earth was populated.

²⁰ Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.

²¹ He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.

²² Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.

²³ Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they didn't see their father's nakedness.

²⁴ Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.

²⁵ He said, "Canaan is cursed. He will be servant of servants to his brothers."

²⁶ He said, "Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.

²⁷ May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant."

²⁸ Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.

²⁹ All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, then he died.
