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

    6 My 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.

    7 And Abraham got up and gave honour to the children of Heth, the people of that land.

    8 And he said to them, If you will let me put my dead to rest here, make a request for me to Ephron, the son of Zohar,

    10 Now Ephron was seated among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite gave Abraham his answer in the hearing of the children of Heth, and of all those who came into his town, saying,

    11 No, my lord, I will give you the field with the hollow in the rock; before all the children of my people will I give it to you for a resting-place for your dead.
