'People of the Land' in the Bible

And Abraham rose up, and bowed himself down to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth;

So Abraham boweth himself down, before the people of the land:

and spake unto Ephron in the ears of the people of the land saying, Only if, thou, wouldst, hear me, - I have given the silver of the field Take it of me, That I may bury my dead here.

Now, Joseph - he, it was, that was in power over the land, he, it was that was selling corn to all the people of the land, - so Joseph's brethren came in, and bowed themselves down to him, with their faces to the earth.
