וַיָּ֧קָם אַבְרָהָ֛ם
and=he/it_rose_up ʼAⱱrāhām
The verb got up reflects the fact that Abraham and the leaders/elders of the Hittites were all sitting as they talked to each other. Alternate translation: “So Abraham got up”

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_of the=earth/land to,sons_of 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”
23:1-20 When Sarah . . . died, Abraham acquired a parcel of land for a burial place. This transaction was the first sign that a permanent transition had taken place, as people were normally buried in their ancestral homeland (cp. 49:29–50:13). In burying Sarah, Abraham detached from his just-mentioned ancestral home (where his relatives still lived, 22:20-24); his future would be in Canaan, where his descendants would realize the promise.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
