[7] And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth. [8] And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar, [9] That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you.
