²⁹ And he commandeth them, and saith unto them, `I am being gathered unto my people; bury me by my fathers, at the cave which `is' in the field of Ephron the Hittite;

³⁰ and I have lain with my fathers, and thou hast borne me out of Egypt, and buried me in their burying-place.' And he saith, `I -- I do according to thy word;'

¹³ and his sons bear him away to the land of Canaan, and bury him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a burying-place, from Ephron the Hittite, on the front of Mamre.

¹⁵ and thou -- thou comest in unto thy fathers in peace; thou art buried in a good old age;

⁸ and Abraham expireth, and dieth in a good old age, aged and satisfied, and is gathered unto his people.

⁹ And Isaac and Ishmael his sons bury him at the cave of Machpelah, at the field of Ephron, son of Zoar the Hittite, which `is' before Mamre --

¹⁰ the field which Abraham bought from the sons of Heth -- there hath Abraham been buried, and Sarah his wife.

¹¹ And it cometh to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blesseth Isaac his son; and Isaac dwelleth by the Well of the Living One, my Beholder.

¹² And these `are' births of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, hath borne to Abraham;

¹³ and these `are' the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their births: first-born of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

¹⁴ and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

¹⁵ Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:

¹⁶ these are sons of Ishmael, and these their names, by their villages, and by their towers; twelve princes according to their peoples.

¹⁷ And these `are' the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty and seven years; and he expireth, and dieth, and is gathered unto his people;

²⁹ and Isaac expireth, and dieth, and is gathered unto his people, aged and satisfied with days; and bury him do Esau and Jacob his sons.

³⁷ Let, I pray thee, thy servant turn back again, and I die in mine own city, near the burying-place of my father and of my mother, -- and lo, thy servant Chimham, let him pass over with my lord the king, and do thou to him that which `is' good in thine eyes.'

⁶ And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy -- `According to the proportion of faith!'

⁷ or ministration -- `In the ministration!' or he who is teaching -- `In the teaching!'

⁸ or he who is exhorting -- `In the exhortation!' he who is sharing -- `In simplicity!' he who is leading -- `In diligence?' he who is doing kindness -- `In cheerfulness.'

⁹ The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good;

¹⁰ in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another;

¹¹ in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; the Lord serving;

¹² in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering;

¹³ to the necessities of the saints communicating; the hospitality pursuing.

¹⁴ Bless those persecuting you; bless, and curse not;

¹⁵ to rejoice with the rejoicing, and to weep with the weeping,

¹⁶ of the same mind one toward another, not minding the high things, but with the lowly going along; become not wise in your own conceit;

¹⁷ giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men.

¹⁸ If possible -- so far as in you -- with all men being in peace;

¹⁹ not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it hath been written, `Vengeance `is' Mine,

²⁰ I will recompense again, saith the Lord;' if, then, thine enemy doth hunger, feed him; if he doth thirst, give him drink; for this doing, coals of fire thou shalt heap upon his head;

²¹ Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good, the evil.

²³ to the company and assembly of the first-born in heaven enrolled, and to God the judge of all, and to spirits of righteous men made perfect,
