Genesis 23:10-18
10NowH935 EphronH6085 was sittingH3427 in the midstH8432 of the childrenH1121 of HethH2845: and EphronH6085 the HittiteH2850 answeredH559 AbrahamH85 in the audience of the childrenH1121 of HethH2845, evenH853 of allH3605 that wentH935 in at the gateH8179 of his cityH5892, sayingH559,
11Nay, my lordH113, hearH8085 meH5414: the fieldH7704 giveH5414 I thee, and the caveH4631 that is therein, I giveH5414 it thee; in the presenceH5869 of the sonsH1121 of my peopleH5971 giveH5414 I it thee: buryH6912 thy deadH4191.
12And AbrahamH85 bowedH7812 himselfH7812 downH7812 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
13And he spake unto EphronH6085 in the audience of the peopleH5971 of the landH776, sayingH559, But ifH518 thou wilt, I pray thee, hearH8085 meH413: I will giveH5414 the priceH3701 of the fieldH7704; takeH3947 it of meH413, and I will buryH6912 my deadH4191 there.
14And EphronH6085 answeredH559 AbrahamH85, sayingH559 unto him,
15My lordH113, hearken unto meH4191: a pieceH776 of landH776 worthH776 fourH702 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, whatH4100 is that betwixt meH4191 and thee? buryH6912 therefore thy deadH4191.
16And AbrahamH85 hearkened unto EphronH6085; and AbrahamH85 weighedH8254 to EphronH6085 the silverH3701, whichH834 he had namedH1696 in the audience of the childrenH1121 of HethH2845, fourH702 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, current moneyH3701 with the merchantH5503.
17SoH834 the fieldH7704 of EphronH6085, whichH834 was in MachpelahH4375, whichH834 was beforeH6440 MamreH4471, the fieldH7704, and the caveH4631 whichH834 was therein, and allH3605 the treesH6086 that were in the fieldH7704, that were in allH3605 the borderH1366 thereof roundH5439 aboutH5439, were madeH3605 sure
18unto AbrahamH85 for a possessionH4736 in the presenceH5869 of the childrenH1121 of HethH2845, beforeH5869 allH3605 that wentH935 in at the gateH8179 of his cityH5892.
