Genesis 23:8-16

8And he spoke with them, saying, “If 1you are willing to let me bury my dead out of my sight, listen to me, and plead with 2Ephron the son of Zohar for me, 9that he may give me the cave of Machpelah which he owns, which is at the end of his field; for the full price let him give it to me in 3your presence for 4a burial site.” 10Now Ephron was sitting among the sons of Heth; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham 5so that the sons of Heth heard, 6that is, all who entered the gate of his city, saying, 11“No, my lord, listen to me; 7I 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. 13But he spoke to Ephron 8so that the people of the land heard, saying, “If you will only please listen to me; I will give the price of the field, accept it from me so that I may bury my dead there.” 14Then Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him, 15“My lord, listen to me: a plot of land worth 9four hundred 10shekels of silver--what is that between me and you? So bury your dead.” 16Abraham listened to Ephron; and Abraham 11weighed out for Ephron the silver which he had named in the 12presence of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, currency acceptable to a merchant.
