Genesis 23:7-12

7Abraham got up and bowed down to the local people, the sons of Heth.

8Then he said to them, “If you agree that I may bury my dead, then hear me out. Ask Ephron the son of Zohar

9if he will sell me the cave of Machpelah that belongs to him; it is at the end of his field. Let him sell it to me publicly for the full price, so that I may own it as a burial site.”

10(Now Ephron was sitting among the sons of Heth.) Ephron the Hethite replied to Abraham in the hearing of the sons of Heth – before all who entered the gate of his city –

11“No, my lord! Hear me out. I sell you both the field and the cave that is in it. In the presence of my people I sell it to you. Bury your dead.”

12Abraham bowed before the local people
