3. Then Abraham rose from beside his dead wife and spoke to the Hittites. He said,
4. ‘I am a foreigner and stranger among you. Sell me some property for a burial site here so that I can bury my dead.’
5. The Hittites replied to Abraham,
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.’
7. Then Abraham rose and bowed down before the people of the land, the Hittites.
