And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,
And Canaan begat Zidon his firstborn, and Heth;
And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spake unto the children of Heth, saying,
I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.
Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction, And maketh him families like a flock.
