The sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn, Heth,
Then Abraham rose from before his dead one and spoke to the sons of Heth saying,
“I am an outsider and a sojourner among you. Give me a gravesite among you so that I may bury my dead from before my presence.”
“Listen to us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the best of our graves. None among us will withhold his grave from you, to bury your dead one.”
Canaan fathered Zidon his firstborn, Heth,
But He lifts the needy high above affliction, and makes their families like a flock.
