10 And Ephron dwelt in the midst of the sons of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite will answer Abraham in the ears of the sons of Heth, of all going to the gate of his city, saying, 11 Nay, lord, hear me; the field I gave thee, and the cave which is in it, to thee I gave it before the eyes of the sons of my people; I gave to thee: bury thy dead. 12 And Abraham will bow himself down before the face of the people of the land. 13 And he will speak to Ephron in the ears of the people of the land, saying, Surely, if thou art for it, hear me: I gave silver for the field, take of me: and I will bury my dead there. 14 And Ephron will answer Abraham, saying to him, 15 Lord, hear me: the land, four hundred shekels of silver; between me and between thee, what is that? and bury thy dead. 16 And Abraham will listen to Ephron, and Abraham will weigh to Ephron the silver, which he spake in the ears of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, passing for traffic. 17 And Ephron's field will stand, which is in Machpelah, which is before the face of Mamra, the field and cave which are in it, and every tree which is in the field, which is in all the bounds round about. 18 To Abraham for a possession before the eyes of the sons of Heth, with all going to the gate of his city.
