“એવું નહિ, મારા માલિક. મારું સાંભળ. હું ખેતર અને તેમાં ગુફા છે તે પણ તને હું આપું છું. મારા લોકોના દીકરાઓના દેખતાં તે હું તને તારી મૃત પત્નીને દફનાવવા માટે આપું છું.”
हिन्दीउत्पत्ति २३:११
“हे मेरे प्रभु, ऐसा नहीं, मेरी सुन; वह भूमि मैं तुझे देता हूँ, और उसमें जो गुफा है, वह भी मैं तुझे देता हूँ; अपने जातिभाइयों के सम्मुख मैं उसे तुझको दिए देता हूँ; अतः अपने मृतक को कब्र में रख।”
