Ephron the Hittite replied to Abraham in the hearing of the sons of Heth– before all who entered the gate of his city– 11 “No, my lord! Hear me out. I sell you both the field and the cave that is in it. In the presence of my people I sell it to you. Bury your dead.” 12 Abraham bowed before the local people 13 and said to Ephron in their hearing,“Hear me, if you will. I pay to you the price of the field. Take it from me so that I may bury my dead there.” 14 Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him, 15 “Hear me, my lord. The land is worth 400 pieces of silver, but what is that between me and you? So bury your dead.” 16 So Abraham agreed to Ephron’s price and weighed out for him the price that Ephron had quoted in the hearing of the sons of Heth– 400 pieces of silver, according to the standard measurement at the time. 17 So Abraham secured 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, 18 as his property in the presence of the sons of Heth before all who entered the gate of Ephron’s city. 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. 20 So Abraham secured the field and the cave that was in it as a burial site from the sons of Heth.
