Genesis 23:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ My Lord, hear us, thou art a prince of God among us: bury thy dead in our principal sepulchres: and no man shall have power to hinder thee from burying thy dead in his sepulchre.

⁷ Abraham rose up, and bowed down to the people of the land, to wit the children of Heth:

⁸ And said to them: If it please your soul that I should bury my dead, hear me, and intercede for me to Ephron the son of Seor.
