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. 19And after this, AbrahamH85 buriedH6912 SarahH8283 his wifeH802 in the caveH4631 of the fieldH7704 of MachpelahH4375 before MamreH4471 (the same is HebronH2275), in the landH776 of CanaanH3667. 20And the fieldH7704, and the caveH4631 that is therein, were made sure unto AbrahamH85 for a possessionH272 of a burying-place by the children of HethH2845.
