3
And Abraham came from his dead and said to the children of Heth,
4
I am living among you as one from a strange country: give me some land here as my property, so that I may put my dead to rest
5
And in answer the children of Heth said to Abraham,
6
My lord, truly you are a great chief among us; take the best of our resting-places for your dead; not one of us will keep back from you a place where you may put your dead to rest.
7
And Abraham got up and gave honour to the children of Heth, the people of that land.
