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.
17. So the field of Ephron which was in the Machpelah, which was near Mamre—the field and the cave which was in it, with all the trees that were in the field, which were within all its surrounding boundaries—passed
18. to Abraham as a property in the presence of the Hittites, with respect to all who were entering the gate of his city.
19. And thus afterward Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah near Mamre; that is Hebron, in the land of Canaan.
20. And the field and the cave which was in it passed to Abraham as a burial site from the Hittites.
