📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative, Abraham was living as a foreigner in the land of Canaan, which God had promised to his descendants, and he needed a burial site for his wife Sarah after her death. He negotiated with Ephron, a Hittite leader, to purchase a field and cave in the presence of the Hittites to make the transaction official and legally binding. This public setting at the city gate highlighted the cultural practice of witnessing important deals in ancient Near Eastern societies to prevent disputes.
