11. `Nay, my lord, hear me: the field I have given to thee, and the cave that [is] in it, to thee I have given it; before the eyes of the sons of my people I have given it to thee--bury thy dead.'
12. And Abraham boweth himself before the people of the land,
13. and speaketh unto Ephron in the ears of the people of the land, saying, `Only--if thou wouldest hear me--I have given the money of the field--accept from me, and I bury my dead there.'
14. And Ephron answereth Abraham, saying to him,
15. `My lord, hear me: the land--four hundred shekels of silver; between me and thee, what [is] it? --thy dead bury.'
16. And Abraham hearkeneth unto Ephron, and Abraham weigheth to Ephron the silver which he hath spoken of in the ears of the sons of Heth, four hundred silver shekels, passing with the merchant.
17. And established are the field of Ephron, which [is] in Machpelah, which [is] before Mamre, the field and the cave which [is] in it, and all the trees which [are] in the field, which [are] in all its border round about,
18. to Abraham by purchase, before the eyes of the sons of Heth, among all entering the gate of his city.
19. And after this hath Abraham buried Sarah his wife at the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (which [is] Hebron), in the land of Canaan;
20. and established are the field, and the cave which [is] in it, to Abraham for a possession of a burying-place, from the sons of Heth.
