Genesis 23:10-17
10Now Ephron was sitting among the sons of Heth; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the sons of Heth; even 1of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying, 11“No, my lord, hear me; 2I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the presence of the sons of my people I give it to you; bury your dead.” 12And Abraham bowed before the people of the land. 13He spoke to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying, “If you will only please listen to me; I will give the price of the field, accept it from me that I may bury my dead there.” 14Then Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him, 15“My lord, listen to me; a piece of land worth four hundred 3shekels of silver, what is that between me and you? So bury your dead.” 16Abraham listened to Ephron; and Abraham 4weighed out for Ephron the silver which he had named in the 5hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, 6commercial standard.
17So 7Ephron’s field, which was in Machpelah, which faced Mamre, the field and cave which was in it, and all the trees which were in the field, that were 8within all the confines of its border, 9were deeded over
