- Genesis 10:15
And Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, and of the Hittites,
Commentary on Genesis 10:152 voices
Sidon - Who probably built the city of this name, and was the father of the Sidonians. Heth - From whom came the Hittites, so remarkable among the Canaanitish nations.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
The account of the posterity of Canaan, and the land they possessed is more particular than of any other in this chapter, because these were the nations that were to be subdued before Israel, and their land was to become Immanuel's land.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
- Genesis 23:3
Then Abraham got up from beside his dead wife and said to the Hittites,
Commentary on Genesis 23:32 voices
Abraham stood up, &c.--Eastern people are always provided with family burying-places; but Abraham's life of faith--his pilgrim state--had prevented him acquiring even so small a possession (Ac 7:5). spake unto the sons of Heth--He bespoke their kind offices to aid him in obtaining possession of a cave that belonged to Ephron--a wealthy neighbor.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871Reformed
And Abraham stood up from before his dead,.... The corpse of Sarah, by which he sat pensive and mourning, perhaps upon the ground, as was the custom of mourners, Job 1:13; where having sat awhile, he rose up and went out of the tent, to provide for the funeral of his wife as became him: and spake unto the sons of Heth; the descendants of Heth the son of Canaan, see Gen 10:15; who were at this time the inhabitants and proprietors of that part of the land where Abraham now was: saying; as follows:

- Genesis 23:5
The Hittites replied to Abraham,
Commentary on Genesis 23:51 voice
With a title of respect: Thou art a prince of God among us, so the word is; not only great, but good. He called himself a stranger and a sojourner; they call him a great prince; for those that humble themselves shall be exalted. God had promised to make Abraham's name great.
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710Puritan
- Genesis 23:7
Then Abraham rose and bowed down before the people of the land, the Hittites.
Commentary on Genesis 23:72 voices
And Abraham stood up,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
He then pitches upon the place he thinks most convenient, namely, the cave of Machpelah, which probably lay near him, and had not yet been used for a burying-place. The present owner was Ephron. Abraham cannot pretend to any interest in him, but he desires that they would improve theirs with him to get the purchase of that cave, and the field in which it was.
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710Puritan
- Genesis 23:10
Now Ephron was sitting among the sons of Heth. So in the presence of all the Hittites who had come to the gate of his city, Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham,
Commentary on Genesis 23:102 voices
Ephron dwelt--literally, was "sitting" among the children of Heth in the gate of the city where all business was transacted. But, though a chief man among them, he was probably unknown to Abraham.

And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Genesis 23:16
Abraham agreed to Ephron’s terms and weighed out for him the price he had named in the hearing of the Hittites: four hundred shekels of silver, according to the standard of the merchants.
Commentary on Genesis 23:162 voices
Abraham weighed . . . the silver--The money, amounting to £50 was paid in presence of the assembled witnesses; and it was weighed. The practice of weighing money, which is often in lumps or rings, each stamped with their weight, is still common in many parts of the East; and every merchant at the gates or the bazaar has his scales at his girdle.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871Reformed
And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron,....

- Genesis 23:18
to Abraham’s possession in the presence of all the Hittites who had come to the gate of his city.
Commentary on Genesis 23:181 voice
Unto Abraham for a possession,....

- Genesis 27:46
Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of these Hittite women. If Jacob takes a Hittite wife from among them, what good is my life?”
Commentary on Genesis 27:462 voices
If Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth - As Esau has done. This was not the thing she was afraid of. But if we use guile once, we shall be very ready to use it again.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
And Rebekah said to Isaac,....

- Genesis 49:32
The field and the cave that is in it were purchased from the Hittites.”
Commentary on Genesis 49:322 voices
The purchase of the field, and of the cave that is there, was from the children of Heth. Which is repeated for the certainty of it, and that it might be taken notice of, that both the field and cave were bought by Abraham of Ephron the Hittite, and that the children of Heth were witnesses of the bargain, and of the payment of the money, and by whom the estate was made sure to Abraham; all which might be urged, if any controversy should arise about it; see Gen 23:16.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
He was afraid lest his sons, after seventeen years' sojourning in Egypt, had forgotten Canaan, and even the burying-place of their ancestors there, or lest the Canaanites should dispute his title to it; and therefore he specifies it thus largely, and the purchase of it, even when he lies a-dying, not only to prevent mistakes, but to show how mindful he was of that country.
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710Puritan
- 1 Chronicles 1:13
And Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, and of the Hittites,
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 1:131 voice
Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth--The three sons of this patriarch are enumerated, partly because they were the founders of the new world, and partly because the fulfilment of Noah's prophecy (Ge 9:25-27) could not otherwise appear to have been verified.
