11 'No, my lord, hear me. I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the presence of the children of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead.'
12 Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
13 He spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, 'But if you will, please hear me. I will give the price of the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there.'
14 Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
15 'My lord, listen to me. What is a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver between me and you? Therefore bury your dead.'
