that he may give me the cave of (A)Machpelah which he has, which is at the end of his field. Let him give it to me at the full price, as property for a burial place among you.”

I give it to you. Bury your dead!”

So bury your dead.” 16 And Abraham listened to Ephron; and Abraham (E)weighed out the silver for Ephron which he had named in the hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, currency of the merchants.
