The sons of Heth answered Abraham,
Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, Heth,
Then Abraham got up from mourning his dead wife and said to the sons of Heth,
“I am a temporary settler among you. Grant me ownership of a burial site among you so that I may bury my dead.”
“Listen, sir, you are a mighty prince among us! You may bury your dead in the choicest of our tombs. None of us will refuse you his tomb to prevent you from burying your dead.”
Canaan was the father of Sidon – his firstborn – and Heth,
Yet he protected the needy from oppression, and cared for his families like a flock of sheep.
