Genesis 23:7 in Context — Genesis 23

5 E responderam os filhos de Hete a Abraão, e disseram-lhe:

6 Ouve-nos, senhor meu, és um príncipe de Deus entre nós; no melhor de nossas sepulturas sepulta a tua falecida; nenhum de nós te impedirá sua sepultura, para que enterres tua falecida.

7 E Abraão se levantou, e inclinou-se ao povo daquela terra, aos filhos de Hete;

8 E falou com eles, dizendo: Se queres que eu sepulte minha falecida de diante de mim, ouvi-me, e intercedei por mim com Efrom, filho de Zoar,

9 Para que me dê a caverna de Macpela, que tem na extremidade de sua propriedade: que por seu justo preço a dê a mim, para possessão de sepultura em meio de vós.
