23:10 (Now Ephron was sitting among the sons of Heth.) Ephron the Hethite 8 replied to Abraham in the hearing 9 of the sons of Heth – before all who entered the gate 10 of his city – 23:11 “No, my lord! Hear me out. I sell 11 you both the field and the cave that is in it. 12 In the presence of my people 13 I sell it to you. Bury your dead.”
23:12 Abraham bowed before the local people 23:13 and said to Ephron in their hearing, “Hear me, if you will. I pay 14 to you the price 15 of the field. Take it from me so that I may 16 bury my dead there.”
23:14 Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him, 23:15 “Hear me, my lord. The land is worth 17 400 pieces of silver, 18 but what is that between me and you? So bury your dead.”
23:16 So Abraham agreed to Ephron’s price 19 and weighed 20 out for him 21 the price 22 that Ephron had quoted 23 in the hearing of the sons of Heth – 400 pieces of silver, according to the standard measurement at the time. 24
23:17 So Abraham secured 25 Ephron’s field in Machpelah, next to Mamre, including the field, the cave that was in it, and all the trees that were in the field and all around its border, 23:18 as his property in the presence of the sons of Heth before all who entered the gate of Ephron’s city. 26
23:19 After this Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave in the field of Machpelah next to Mamre (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan. 23:20 So Abraham secured the field and the cave that was in it as a burial site 27 from the sons of Heth.
