Genesis 23:7 in Context — Genesis 23

5 Les fils de Heth répondirent à Abraham, en lui disant:

6 Écoute-nous, mon seigneur! Tu es un prince de Dieu au milieu de nous; enterre ton mort dans celui de nos sépulcres que tu choisiras; aucun de nous ne te refusera son sépulcre pour enterrer ton mort.

7 Abraham se leva, et se prosterna devant le peuple du pays, devant les fils de Heth.

8 Et il leur parla ainsi: Si vous permettez que j’enterre mon mort et que je l’ôte de devant mes yeux, écoutez-moi, et priez pour moi Éphron, fils de Tsochar,

9 de me céder la caverne de Macpéla, qui lui appartient, à l’extrémité de son champ, de me la céder contre sa valeur en argent, afin qu’elle me serve de possession sépulcrale au milieu de vous.
