11. “No, my lord, hear me. I give you the field and the cave which is in it, I also give it to you in the sight of the children of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead.”
12. And Abraham bowed before the people of the land.
13. And he spoke to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying, “If only you will hear me—I give the price of the field. Take it from me that I may bury my dead there.”
14. And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
15. “My lord, hear me. A piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver—what is that between me and you? Bury your dead.”
16. Then Abraham listened to Ephron, and Abraham weighed for Ephron the silver that he had named in the hearing of the Hittites: four hundred shekels of silver at the merchants’ current rate.
