11“NoH3808, my lordH113, hearH8085 me; 1I giveH5414 you the fieldH7704, and I giveH5414 you the caveH4631 that is in it. In the presenceH5869 of the sonsH1121 of my peopleH5971 I giveH5414 it to you; buryH6912 your deadH4191.”

12And AbrahamH85 bowedH7812 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971 of the landH776.

13He spokeH1696 to EphronH6085 in the hearingH241 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776, sayingH559, “IfH518 you will onlyH389 pleaseH3863 listenH8085 to me; I will giveH5414 the priceH3701 of the fieldH7704, acceptH3947 it from me that I may buryH6912 my deadH4191 thereH8033.”

14Then EphronH6085 answeredH6030 AbrahamH85, sayingH559 to him,

15“My lordH113, listenH8085 to me; a piece of landH776 worth fourH702 hundredH3967 2shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, whatH4100 is that betweenH996 me and you? So buryH6912 your deadH4191.”
