Heth » Son of canaan, and ancestor of the hittites
Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn, along with the Hittites,
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.
Rebekah also told herself, "Heth's daughters are making me tired of living. If Jacob marries one of Heth's daughters, and she turns out to be just like these other local women, what kind of life would there be left for me?"
Now since Ephron the Hittite had taken a seat there among the Hittites, he responded publicly to Abraham where the Hittites and everyone who was entering the gate of his city could hear him:
Abraham agreed with Ephron, so he weighed out to Ephron the money to which he had agreed publicly while the Hittites were listening: 400 shekels of silver at the current merchant rate.
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."
