Génesis 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).

Génesis 23:7 In-Context

5 Y respondieron los hijos de Het a Abraham, y le dijeron:
6 Oyenos, se帽or m铆o, eres un pr铆ncipe de Dios entre nosotros; en lo mejor de nuestras sepulturas sepulta a tu muerta; ninguno de nosotros te impedir谩 su sepultura, para que entierres tu muerta.
7 Y Abraham se levant贸, y se inclin贸 al pueblo de aquella tierra, a los hijos de Het;
8 y habl贸 con ellos, diciendo: Si ten茅is voluntad que yo sepulte mi muerta de delante de m铆, o铆dme, e interceded por m铆 con Efr贸n, hijo de Zohar,
9 para que me d茅 la cueva de Macpela, que tiene al cabo de su heredad; que por su justo precio me la d茅, para heredad de sepultura en medio de vosotros.
