Genesis 23:5 The children1121 of Heth2845 answered6030 Abraham,85 saying559 to him,
6 "Hear us,8085 my lord.113 You are a prince5387 of God430 among us.8432 Bury6912 your dead4191 in the best4005 of our tombs.6913 None3808 of us will withhold3607 from you his tomb.6913 Bury6912 your dead."4191
Genesis 23:7 Abraham85 rose up,6965 and bowed7812 himself to the people5971 of the land,776 even to the children1121 of Heth.28458 He talked1696 with them, saying,559 "If it be3426 your mind5315 that I should bury6912 my dead4191 out of my sight,6440 hear8085 me, and entreat6293 for me to Ephron6085 the son1121 of Zohar,67149 that he may give5414 me the cave4631 of Machpelah,4375 which he has, which is in the end7097 of his field.7704 For the full4392 price3701 let him give it5414 to me among you8432 for a possession272 of a burying-place."6913
Genesis 23:10 Now Ephron6085 was sitting3427 in the middle8432 of the children1121 of Heth.2845 Ephron6085 the Hittite2850 answered6030 Abraham85 in the hearing241 of the children1121 of Heth,2845 even of all who went in935 at the gate8179 of his city,5892 saying,55911 "No, my lord,113 hear me.8085 I5414 give you the field,7704 and I5414 give you the cave4631 that is in it.5414 In the presence5869 of the children1121 of my people5971 I give5414 it to you. Bury6912 your dead."4191
Genesis 23:12 Abraham85 bowed himself down7812 before6440 the people5971 of the land.77613 He spoke1696 to Ephron6085 in the audience241 of the people5971 of the land,776 saying,559 "But if you3863 will, please hear8085 me. I will give5414 the price3701 of the field.7704 Take3947 it from me, and I will bury6912 my dead4191 there."
Genesis 23:14 Ephron6085 answered6030 Abraham,85 saying559 to him,
15 "My lord,113 listen8085 to me. What is a piece of land776 worth four702 hundred3967 shekels8255 of silver3701{a shekel is about 10 grams, so 400 shekels would be about 4 kg. or 8.8 pounds} between996 me and you? Therefore bury6912 your dead."4191
Genesis 23:16 Abraham85 listened8085 to Ephron.6085 Abraham85 weighed8254 to Ephron6085 the silver3701 which he had named1696 in the audience241 of the children1121 of Heth,2845 four702 hundred3967 shekels8255 of silver,3701{a shekel is about 10 grams, so 400 shekels would be about 4 kg. or 8.8 pounds} according to the current5674 merchants'5503 standard.
