12. Abraham reverenced in the sight of the people of the land.
13. And he spoke to Ephron, standing in the midst of the people: "I ask you to hear me. I will give you money for the field. Take it, and so I will bury my dead in it."
14. And Ephron responded: "My lord, hear me.
15. The land that you request is worth four hundred shekels of silver. This is the price between me and you. But how much is this? Bury your dead."
16. And when Abraham had heard this, he weighed out the money that Ephron had requested, in the hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, of the approved public currency.
17. And having confirmed that the field, in which there was a double cave overlooking Mamre, formerly belonged to Ephron, both it and the sepulcher, and all its trees, with all its surrounding limits,
18. Abraham took it as a possession, in the sight of the sons of Heth and of everyone who was entering at the gate of his city.
19. So then, Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the double cave of the field that overlooked Mamre. This is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
20. And the field was confirmed to Abraham, with the cave that was in it, as a memorial possession before the sons of Heth.
