Genesis 23:15
My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead. My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
The verse belongs to Abraham's purchase of the cave of Machpelah at Hebron to bury his beloved Sarah, which became the burial place of the patriarchs. In making that purchase he bowed before the sons of Heth and treated them with respect, dealing with them considerately. His bowing is true courtesy and the finest example of the power of true courtesy, showing the conduct of a true gentleman and Christian gentleman who knows what is due from one person to another.
Although the whole of Canaan had been promised to him, he owned not a foot of it, so to bury Sarah he had to buy a piece of land for her grave. This proves he lived as only a pilgrim and stranger in this world while looking for a city whose builder and maker, designer and builder, is God. When the view of immortal life on this earth purified as his home was opened before him, he was satisfied without wonderful prosperity in this life in land or gold or silver or wealth. God's people now are seeking the same city, so they should not expect all reward here in present possessions but should hold to the claim of the future immortal life and an eternal weight of glory.
