13 and then addressed Ephron so all the people of the land could hear him: |Please listen to me! I'm willing to pay the price of the field. Accept it from me, so I may bury my dead there.| 14 So Ephron answered Abraham, 15 |Sir, listen to me! The land is worth 400 shekels of silver, but what's that between us? You may bury your dead.| 16 Abraham agreed with Ephron, so he weighed out to Ephron the money to which he had agreed publicly while the Hittites were listening: 400 shekels of silver at the current merchant rate.
