The Hittites replied to Abraham,
Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn, then Heth,
Then Abraham got up from beside his dead wife and spoke to the Hittites:
“I am a foreign resident among you. Give me a burial site among you so that I can bury my dead.”
“Listen to us, lord. You are God’s chosen one among us. Bury your dead in our finest burial place. None of us will withhold from you his burial place for burying your dead.”
Canaan fathered Sidon as his firstborn, then Heth,
But He lifts the needy out of their suffering and makes their families multiply like flocks.
