8 and spake with them, saying,––If it is with the consent of your minds, that I should bury my dead from before me, hear me, and intercede for me, with Ephron son of Zohar:
9 That he would give me, the cave of Machpelah, which pertaineth unto him, which is within the bounds of his field,––For full silver, let him give it me, in your midst, For a possession of a buryingplace.
10 Now, Ephron, was sitting in the midst of the sons of Heth,––so Ephron the Hittite responded to Abraham, in the ears of the sons of Heth, even all that were entering the gate of his city, saying:
11 Nay, my lord, hear me, The field, have I given to thee, And, the cave that is therein, to thee, have I given it,––In the eyes of the sons of my people, have I given it thee, Bury thy dead.
12 So Abraham boweth himself down, before the people of the land:
13 and spake unto Ephron, in the ears of the people of the land, saying, Only if, thou, wouldst, hear me,––I have given the silver of the field, Take it of me, That I may bury my dead here.
14 And Ephron responded to Abraham, saying to him,
15 My lord, hear me,––Land worth four hundred shekels of silver––betwixt me and thee, what is that? And, thy dead, bury thou.
16 And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron, and Abraham weighed out to Ephron the silver of which he had spoken in the ears of the sons of Heth,––four hundred shekels of silver, current with the merchant.
