23:3-4 Abraham bargained with local Hittite elders for a piece of land for a burial site. These Hittites had apparently migrated south to Canaan from the great Hittite empire in eastern Asia Minor (modern Turkey; cp. 10:15). • Abraham was a stranger and a foreigner among these people; his hope was in God’s promise that he would eventually possess the land.
