14. Then Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
15. “My lord, listen to me. The land is 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 four hundred shekels of silver, the price that he had named in the hearing of the Hittites, according to the standard commercial measure.
17. So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field and the cave that was in it, and all the trees that were in the field that were within all the surrounding borders were deeded
18. to Abraham as a possession in the presence of the Hittites, before all who went in at the gate of his city.
19. After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan.
20. So the field and the cave that was in it were deeded to Abraham by the Hittites as property for a burial place.
