Genesis 23:10-18

10Now EphronH6085 was sittingH3427 in the midstH8432 of the children of HethH2845: and EphronH6085 the HittiteH2850 answered AbrahamH85 in the audience of the children of HethH2845, even of all that wentH935 in at the gateH8179 of his cityH5892, sayingH559, 11Nay, my lordH113, hearH8085 me: the fieldH7704 giveH5414 I thee, and the caveH4631 that is therein, I giveH5414 it thee; in the presence of the children of my peopleH5971 giveH5414 I it thee: buryH6912 thy deadH4191. 12And AbrahamH85 bowedH7812 himself downH7812 before the peopleH5971 of the landH776. 13And he spake unto EphronH6085 in the audience of the peopleH5971 of the landH776, sayingH559, But if thou wilt, I pray thee, hearH8085 me: I will giveH5414 the price of the fieldH7704; takeH3947 it of me, and I will buryH6912 my deadH4191 there. 14And EphronH6085 answered AbrahamH85, sayingH559 unto him, 15My lordH113, hearken unto me: a piece of landH776 worth fourH702 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, what is that betwixt me and thee? buryH6912 therefore thy deadH4191. 16And AbrahamH85 hearkened unto EphronH6085; and AbrahamH85 weighedH8254 to EphronH6085 the silverH3701 which he had named in the audience of the children of HethH2845, fourH702 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, current moneyH3701 with the merchant.

17So the fieldH7704 of EphronH6085, which was in MachpelahH4375, which was before MamreH4471, the fieldH7704, and the caveH4631 which was therein, and all the treesH6086 that were in the fieldH7704, that were in all the borderH1366 thereof roundH5439 about, were made sure 18unto AbrahamH85 for a possession in the presence of the children of HethH2845, before all that wentH935 in at the gateH8179 of his cityH5892.
