Genesi 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;

Genesi 23:7 In-Context

5 E i figliuoli di Het risposero ad Abrahamo, dicendogli:
6 Signor mio, ascoltaci: Tu sei per mezzo noi un principe divino; seppellisci il tuo morto nella piĂą scelta delle nostre sepolture; niuno di noi ti rifiuterĂ  la sua sepoltura, che tu non vi seppellisca il tuo morto.
7 Ed Abrahamo si levò, e s’inchinò al popolo del paese, a’ figliuoli di Het; e parlò con loro, dicendo:
8 Se voi avete nell’animo che io seppellisca il mio morto, e mel levi d’innanzi, ascoltatemi: Intercedete per me appo Efron, figliuolo di Sohar;
9 che mi dia la spelonca di Macpela, che è sua, la quale è nell’estremità del suo campo; che me la dia per lo suo prezzo intiero, per possession di sepoltura fra voi.
