In context
3And Abraham stood up from before his dead; and Abraham spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
4I am a sojourner and a stranger among you, give me therefore possession of a burying place among you, and I will bury my dead away from me.
— Genesis 23:5 —
6but hear us; thou art in the midst of us a king from God; bury thy dead in our choice sepulchers, for not one of us will by any means withhold his sepulcher from thee, so that thou shouldest not bury thy dead there.
7And Abraham rose up and did obeisance to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth.
