And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.

George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Bowed down to the people. Adoravit, literally, adored. But this word here, as well as in many other places in the Latin Scriptures, is used to signify only an inferior honour and reverence paid to men, expressed by a bowing down of the body.
