3 And Abraham riseth up from the presence of his dead, and speaketh unto the sons of Heth, saying,
4 'A sojourner and a settler I 'am' with you; give to me a possession of a burying-place with you, and I bury my dead from before me.'
5 And the sons of Heth answer Abraham, saying to him,
6 'Hear us, my lord; a prince of God 'art' thou in our midst; in the choice of our burying-places bury thy dead: none of us his burying-place doth withhold from thee, from burying thy dead.'
