3. And after he rose up from the funeral obsequies, he spoke to the children of Heth, saying:
4. I am a stranger and sojourner among you: give me the right of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead.
5. The children of Heth answered, saying:
6. My Lord, hear us, thou art a prince of God among us: bury thy dead in our principle sepulchers: and no man shall have power to hinder thee from burying thy dead in his sepulcher.
7. Abraham rose up, and bowed down to the people of the land, to wit the children of Heth:
8. And said to them: If it please your soul that I should bury my dead, hear me, and intercede for me to Ephron the son of Seor.
