Genesis 23:3-7

Genesis 23:3-7

[3] And Abraham  stood up  from before  his dead,  and spake  unto the sons  of Heth,  saying,  [4] I am a stranger  and a sojourner  with you: give  me a possession  of a buryingplace  with you, that I may bury  my dead  out of my sight.  [5] And the children  of Heth  answered  Abraham,  saying  unto him, [6] Hear us,  my lord:  thou art a mighty  prince  among us:  in the choice  of our sepulchres  bury  thy dead;  none  of us shall withhold  from thee his sepulchre,  but that thou mayest bury  thy dead.  [7] And Abraham  stood up,  and bowed  himself to the people  of the land,  even to the children  of Heth.
