NETBible

“I am a temporary settler¹ among you. Grant² me ownership³ of a burial site among you so that I may⁴ bury my dead.”⁵

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “a resident alien and a settler.”

²tn Heb “give,” which is used here as an idiom for “sell” (see v. 9). The idiom reflects the polite bartering that was done in the culture at the time.

³tn Or “possession.”

⁴tn Following the imperative, the cohortative with the prefixed conjunction expresses purpose.

⁵tn Heb “bury my dead out of my sight.” The last phrase “out of my sight” has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.
