וַ⁠יִּשְׁתַּ֥חוּ

and,bowed

We do not know how far Abraham bowed down. He may have bowed his upper body from a standing position, or he may have knelt down and touched his forehead to the ground with his arms outstretched. Alternate translation: “and bowed low to the ground in respect” or “and kneeled and touched his forehead to the ground in respect”

לְ⁠עַם הָ⁠אָ֖רֶץ לִ⁠בְנֵי חֵֽת

to,people the=earth/land to,sons Het

The phrase people of the land is a term that refers to the leaders of that region who owned land in the area and were the ones to decide whether a foreigner could acquire land. Alternate translation: “in front of the elders of the Hittites, who owned the land in the area” or “before the elders over the Hittites”
