3. And Abraham riseth up from the presence of his dead, and speaketh unto the sons of Heth, saying,
4. `A sojourner and a settler I [am] with you; give to me a possession of a burying-place with you, and I bury my dead from before me.'
5. And the sons of Heth answer Abraham, saying to him,
6. `Hear us, my lord; a prince of God [art] thou in our midst; in the choice of our burying-places bury thy dead: none of us his burying-place doth withhold from thee, from burying thy dead.'
7. And Abraham riseth and boweth himself to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth,
8. and he speaketh with them, saying, `If it is your desire to bury my dead from before me, hear me, and meet for me with Ephron, son of Zoar;
9. and he giveth to me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which [is] in the extremity of his field; for full money doth he give it to me, in your midst, for a possession of a burying-place.'
