In Genesis 23, we find Abraham wanting to bury his wife Sarah. He wanted a burial place among the sons of Heth. We find these words in Genesis 23:6 spoken to Abraham by the men at the gate:
“Hear us, my lord: You are a mighty prince among us; bury your dead in
the choicest of our burial places. None of us will withhold from you
his burial place, that you may bury your dead.”
How did Abraham rise to such prominence among the people? What indications does Genesis give us so this should not be a surprise to us?
