Genesis 23:4

“I am a temporary settler ¹  among you. Grant ²  me ownership ³  of a burial site among you so that I may ⁴  bury my dead.” ⁵ 

"I am an alien and a stranger among you. Sell me some property for a burial site here so that I can bury my dead."

"I am a stranger and a sojourner among you; give me a burial site among you that I may bury my dead out of my sight."

"Here I am, a stranger in a foreign land, with no place to bury my wife. Please let me have a piece of land for a burial plot."

"I know I'm only an outsider here among you, but sell me a burial plot so that I can bury my dead decently."

I am living among you as one from a strange country: give me some land here as my property, so that I may put my dead to rest.

"I am a stranger and an alien residing among you; give me property among you for a burying place, so that I may bury my dead out of my sight."

"I am a foreigner and a visitor among you. Give me property for a burial place among you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight."

“I am a temporary settler ¹  among you. Grant ²  me ownership ³  of a burial site among you so that I may ⁴  bury my dead.” ⁵ 

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

² tn 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.

³ tn Or “possession.”

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

⁵ tn 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.
