Genesis 23:13-16 ▼

13 But he spoke to Ephron so that the people of the land heard, saying, “If you will only please listen to me; I will give the price of the field, accept it from me so that I may bury my dead there.”

14 Then Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,

15 “My lord, listen to me: a plot of land worth four hundred shekels of silver—what is that between me and you? So bury your dead.”

16 Abraham listened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed out for Ephron the silver which he had named in the presence of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, currency acceptable to a merchant.
