Genesis 23:6
Douay-Rheims
My Lord, hear us, thou art a prince of God among us: bury thy dead in our principal sepulchres: and no man shall have power to hinder thee from burying thy dead in his sepulchre.
Sforno
IN THE CHOICEST OF OUR BURIAL PLACES, BURY. And do not delay [burying] your dead until you can acquire, as they said, "for all dead [other than a parent], one who expedites [the departure of] the bier, is praiseworthy."
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
