13 And spake vnto Ephron in the audience of the people of the countrey, saying: yf thou wylt geue it then I pray thee heare me, I wyll geue syluer for the fielde, take it of me, and I will bury my dead therin.

14 Ephron aunswered Abraham, saying vnto hym:

15 My Lord, hearken vnto me, the lande is worth foure hundred sicles of siluer, what is that betwixt thee and me? bury therfore thy dead.

16 And Abraham hearkened vnto Ephron, and wayed him the siluer which he had sayde in the aundience of the sonnes of Heth, euen foure hundred syluer sicles of currant money amongest marchauntes.
