The Hittites answered Abraham,
Canaan was the father of Sidon, his first son, and of Heth.
After a while he got up from the side of his wife’s body and went to talk to the Hittites. He said,
“I am only a stranger and a foreigner here. Sell me some of your land so that I can bury my dead wife.”
“Sir, you are a great leader among us. You may have the best place we have to bury your dead. You may have any of our burying places that you want, and none of us will stop you from burying your dead wife.”
Canaan’s first child was Sidon. He was also the father of the Hittites,
But he lifted the poor out of their suffering and made their families grow like flocks of sheep.
