Genesis 23:7-9

7So Abraham rose and bowed to the people of the land, the sons of Heth.

8And he spoke with them, saying, “If it is your 1wish for me to bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and approach 2Ephron the son of Zohar for me,

9that he may give me the cave of Machpelah which he owns, which is at the end of his field; for the full price let him give it to me in 3your presence for 4a burial site.”
