Genesis 23:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ Abraham rose, bowed to the local citizens the Hittites, ⁸ and spoke with them: “If you yourselves allow me to bury my dead near me, listen to me and ask Ephron, Zohar’s son, ⁹ to give me his own cave in Machpelah at the edge of his field. Let him give it to me for the full price, to be witnessed by you, as my own burial property.”
