3 Abraham rose up from beside his dead, and said to the Hittites,

4 "I am a stranger and an alien residing among you; give me property among you for a burying place, so that I may bury my dead out of my sight.

5 The Hittites answered Abraham,

6 "Hear us, my lord; you are a mighty prince among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our burial places; none of us will withhold from you any burial ground for burying your dead."

6 “Sir, listen to us. You are a mighty prince among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our tombs. None of us will refuse you his tomb for burying your dead.”
