Gen 23:3-20. Purchase of a burying-place.

Abraham stood up, etc. - Eastern people are always provided with family burying-places; but Abraham’s life of faith - his pilgrim state - had prevented him acquiring even so small a possession (Act 7:5).

spake unto the sons of Heth - He bespoke their kind offices to aid him in obtaining possession of a cave that belonged to Ephron - a wealthy neighbor.
