BrLXX Πάροικος καὶ παρεπίδημος ἐγώ εἰμι μεθʼ ὑμῶν· δότε μοι οὖν κτῆσιν τάφου μεθʼ ὑμῶν, καὶ θάψω τὸν νεκρόν μου ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ.

23:1-20 When Sarah . . . died, Abraham acquired a parcel of land for a burial place. This transaction was the first sign that a permanent transition had taken place, as people were normally buried in their ancestral homeland (cp. 49:29–50:13). In burying Sarah, Abraham detached from his just-mentioned ancestral home (where his relatives still lived, 22:20-24); his future would be in Canaan, where his descendants would realize the promise.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אָנֹכִ֖י
I
The leaders of the city already knew that Abraham was a foreigner, so make sure your translation of this sentence does not sound like he is telling them something that they did not know. Alternate translation: “I am coming to you as” or “Since I am”
גֵּר וְתוֹשָׁ֥ב
alien and,stranger
See how you translated foreigner in Gen 15:13. Alternate translation: “a outsider who has settled” or “a outsider who is living”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
עִמָּכֶ֑ם
among,you_all
It is implied by Abraham and understood by the Hittites that Abraham’s status as a foreigner means he owns no property. Consider whether or not to make this implied information explicit in your translation. Alternate translation: “among you and I have no land of my own.” or “in your land and I do not own any property here.”
Note 3 topic: writing-politeness
תְּנ֨וּ לִ֤י
give to=me
Make sure that the way you translate this phrase sounds polite, not rude or demanding. Alternate translation: “Please give me” or “Please let me buy”
אֲחֻזַּת קֶ֨בֶר֙ עִמָּכֶ֔ם
property burial_site among,you_all
Alternate translation: “some land among you” or “some of your property”
וְאֶקְבְּרָ֥ה מֵתִ֖י מִלְּפָנָֽי
and,bury dead,my out_of,before,sight,my
Translate this clause in a way that shows respect for the person who has died. Alternate translation: “so I have a place to take my dead wife and bury her.” or “where I can bury the body of my wife who has died.” or “so that I can give my deceased wife a proper burial.”
