“Hear us, my lord: you are a prince of God in our midst; bury your dead in the choicest of our burial places; none of us will withhold his burial place from you for burying your dead.”
English: “Will not withhold” — will not restrain, as in “You will not withhold Your mercies.”
On the daf / in context: The people of Cheis address Avraham as a prince of God and guarantee that no burial place will be withheld; the verb is clarified as “will not restrain/withhold.”
Type of Learning
Derash on the verse (Rashi / plain sense with midrashic support) — not a formal named middah of the 13: the language of non-withholding is fixed by parallel usage.
What Is Learned
The children of Cheis recognize Avraham as a prince of God and assure him that no one will withhold a burial place from him for Sarah.
