Genesis 23:6-8

New Century Version

⁶ “Sir, you are a great leader among us. You may have the best place we have to bury your dead. You may have any of our burying places that you want, and none of us will stop you from burying your dead wife.”

⁷ Abraham rose and bowed to the people of the land, the Hittites. ⁸ He said to them, “If you truly want to help me bury my dead wife here, speak to Ephron, the son of Zohar for me.
