Genesis 23:3-7

3 And Abraham rose up from before his dead and said to the Hittites, ^{▼▼Hebrew sons of Heth; also verses 5, 7, 10, 16, 18, 20} 4 ^b“I am a sojourner and foreigner among you; ^cgive me property among you for a burying place, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.” 5 The Hittites answered Abraham, 6 “Hear us, my lord; you are a prince of God ^{▼▼Or a mighty prince} among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb to hinder you from burying your dead.” 7 Abraham rose and bowed to the Hittites, the people of the land.
