Genesis 23:7 in context

  1. 5The children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
  2. 6“Hear us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the best of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb. Bury your dead.”
  3. 7Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth.
  4. 8He talked with them, saying, “If you agree that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
  5. 9that he may sell me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which is in the end of his field. For the full price let him sell it to me among you as a possession for a burial place.”
