17 That is how the property which had belonged to Ephron at Machpelah, east of Mamre, became Abraham's. It included the field, the cave which was in it, and all the trees in the field up to the edge of the property.
18 It was recognized as Abraham's property by all the Hittites who were there at the meeting.
19 Then Abraham buried his wife Sarah in that cave in the land of Canaan.
20 So the field which had belonged to the Hittites, and the cave in it, became the property of Abraham for a burial ground.
