3 Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the children of Heth, saying,
4 'I am a stranger and a foreigner living with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.'
5 The children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
6 'Hear us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. In the choice of our tombs bury your dead. None of us will withhold from you his tomb, but that you may bury your dead.'
7 Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.
