“I live as a foreigner in your land, and I don't own any property where I can bury my wife. Please let me buy a piece of land.”

Canaan's eldest son was Sidon; his other son was Heth.

When you are suffering and in need, he will come to your rescue, and your families will grow as fast as a herd of sheep.
