Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn, as well as Heth,

to Abraham in the presence of all the Hittites and everyone who was entering the city gate.

Then Abraham stood up from beside his dead wife and addressed the Hittites. He said,

The Hittites responded to Abraham,

Abraham rose and bowed before the Hittites, the people of the land,

Both the field and the cave that's in it were purchased from the Hittites."
