3
And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spake unto the children of Heth, saying,
4
I am a stranger and a sojourner with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight
5
And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,
6
Hear us, my lord. Thou art a prince of God among us. In the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead. None of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.
7
And Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.
