Genesis 23, Sarah buried

Genesis 23:19 NIV
Afterward Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave in the field of Machpelah near Mamre (which is at Hebron) in the land of Canaan.

Genesis 23:4, 19 NIV
“I am a foreigner and stranger among you. Sell me some property for a burial site here so I can bury my wife "

Why Abraham said he is the foreigner to place which is Hebron? Where is Abraham originated?

Genesis 22:19 NIV
Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set off together for Beersheba. And Abraham stayed in Beersheba.

So at that time he actually stay at Beersheba.
