The Hittites answered Abraham: “Please,
Canaan became the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and of Heth;
“Although I am a resident alien among you, sell me from your holdings a burial place, that I may bury my deceased wife.”
sir, listen to us! You are a mighty leader among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our burial sites. None of us would deny you his burial ground for the burial of your dead.”
Then he left the side of his deceased wife and addressed the Hittites:
Canaan became the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth,
While he released the poor man from affliction, and increased their families like flocks.
