Genesis 23:13-16

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 1shekels of silver, what is that between me and you? So bury your dead.” 16Abraham listened to Ephron; and Abraham 2weighed out for Ephron the silver which he had named in the 3hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, 4commercial standard.
