14. Ephron answered Abraham,
15. "Sir, listen to me. The land is worth ten pounds of silver. But what is that between you and me? Bury your wife."
16. Abraham agreed to Ephron's offer. He weighed out for him the price he had named. The Hittites there had heard it. The price was ten pounds of silver. Abraham measured it by the weights that were used by those who bought and sold.
17. So Ephron sold his field in Machpelah near Mamre to Abraham. He bought the field and the cave that was in it. He also bought all of the trees that were inside the borders of the field. Everything was sold
18. to Abraham as his property. He bought it in front of all of the Hittites who had come to the gate of the city.
