Gênesis 23:7 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 23:7

And Abraham stood up
For, having made his speech to the children of Heth, he sat down waiting for an answer; or rather perhaps they obliged him to sit down, out of reverence to so great a personage; and when they had done speaking, he rose up: and bowed himself to the people of the land;
the principal of them, in token of the grateful sense he had of the honour they had done him, and of the great civility with which they had used him: [even] to the children of Heth;
this seems to be added to distinguish them from the common people, and as an explanation of the preceding clause; (See Gill on Genesis 23:3).

Gênesis 23:7 In-Context

5 Responderam-lhe os filhos de Hete:
6 Ouve-nos, senhor; príncipe de Deus és tu entre nós; enterra o teu morto na mais escolhida de nossas sepulturas; nenhum de nós te vedará a sua sepultura, para enterrares o teu morto.
7 Então se levantou Abraão e, inclinando-se diante do povo da terra, diante dos filhos de Hete,
8 falou-lhes, dizendo: Se é de vossa vontade que eu sepulte o meu morto de diante de minha face, ouvi-me e intercedei por mim junto a Efrom, filho de Zoar,
9 para que ele me dê a cova de Macpela, que possui no fim do seu campo; que ma dê pelo devido preço em posse de sepulcro no meio de vós.
