Abraham got up and bowed down to the local people, the sons of Heth.
Then he said to them,“If you agree that I may bury my dead, then hear me out. Ask Ephron the son of Zohar

(Now Ephron was sitting among the sons of Heth.) Ephron the Hittite replied to Abraham in the hearing of the sons of Heth– before all who entered the gate of his city–
“No, my lord! Hear me out. I sell you both the field and the cave that is in it. In the presence of my people I sell it to you. Bury your dead.”
Abraham bowed before the local people
and said to Ephron in their hearing,“Hear me, if you will. I pay to you the price of the field. Take it from me so that I may bury my dead there.”
