4“I am 5a strangerH1616 and a foreignH8453 residentH8453 amongH5973 you; 6giveH5414 me 7a 8burialH6913 siteH272 amongH5973 you so that I may buryH6912 my deadH4191 out of my sightH6440.”
5The sonsH1121 of HethH2845 answeredH6030 AbrahamH85, sayingH559 to him,
6“HearH8085 us, my lordH113: you are a 910mightyH430 princeH5387 amongH8432 us; buryH6912 your deadH4191 in the choicestH4005 of our gravesH6913; noneH376H3808 of us will refuseH3607 you his graveH6913 for buryingH6912 your deadH4191.”
