    3And Abraham came from his dead and said to the children of Heth,

    4I am living among you as one from a strange country: give me some land here as my property, so that I may put my dead to rest.

    5And in answer the children of Heth said to Abraham,

    6My lord, truly you are a great chief among us; take the best of our resting-places for your dead; not one of us will keep back from you a place where you may put your dead to rest.

    15My lord, give ear to me: the value of the land is four hundred shekels; what is that between me and you? so put your dead to rest there.
