Genesis 23:16-20 New International Version (NIV)

16. Abraham agreed to Ephron’s terms and weighed out for him the price he had named in the hearing of the Hittites: four hundred shekels of silver, according to the weight current among the merchants.

17. So Ephron’s field in Machpelah near Mamre—both the field and the cave in it, and all the trees within the borders of the field—was deeded

18. to Abraham as his property in the presence of all the Hittites who had come to the gate of the city.

19. Afterward Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave in the field of Machpelah near Mamre (which is at Hebron) in the land of Canaan.

20. So the field and the cave in it were deeded to Abraham by the Hittites as a burial site.
