Antiquities of the Jews
by Flavius Josephus
Book I, Chapter 14
Concerning Sarah Abraham's Wife; And How She Ended Her Days
NOW Sarah died a little while after, having lived one hundred and
twenty-seven years. They buried her in Hebron; the Canaanites
publicly allowing them a burying-place; which piece of ground
Abraham bought for four hundred shekels, of Ephron, an inhabitant
of Hebron. And both Abraham and his descendants built themselves
sepulchers in that place.
