³Then Abraham got up from beside his dead wife and said to the Hittites,

⁴“I am a foreigner and an outsider among you. Give me a burial site among you so that I can bury my dead.”

⁵The Hittites replied to Abraham,

⁶“Listen to us, sir. You are God’s chosen one among us. Bury your dead in the finest of our tombs. None of us will withhold his tomb for burying your dead.”

⁷Then Abraham rose and bowed down before the people of the land, the Hittites.
