14 Ephron answered Abraham and said to him,
15 “My lord, listen to me. Land worth 400 shekels of silver — what is that between you and me? Bury your dead.”
16 Abraham agreed with Ephron, and Abraham weighed out to Ephron the silver that he had agreed to in the presence of the Hittites: 400 shekels of silver at the current commercial rate.
17 So Ephron’s field at Machpelah near Mamre — the field with its cave and all the trees anywhere within the boundaries of the field — became
18 Abraham’s possession in the presence of all the Hittites who came to the gate of his city.
19 After this, Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave of the field at Machpelah near Mamre (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan.
20 The field with its cave passed from the Hittites to Abraham as a burial place.
