10Ephron the Hittite was sitting among his people and he replied to Abraham in the hearing of all the Hittites who had come to the gate of his city.

11“No, my lord,” he said. “Listen to me; I give Or sell you the field, and I give Or sell you the cave that is in it. I give Or sell it to you in the presence of my people. Bury your dead.” 12Again Abraham bowed down before the people of the land

13and he said to Ephron in their hearing, “Listen to me, if you will. I will pay the price of the field. Accept it from me so I can bury my dead there.” 14Ephron answered Abraham,

15“Listen to me, my lord; the land is worth four hundred shekels That is, about 10 pounds or about 4.6 kilograms of silver, but what is that between you and me? Bury your dead.”
