Abraham reverenced in the sight of the people of the land.

And Ephron responded: “My lord, hear me.
The land that you request is worth four hundred shekels of silver. This is the price between me and you. But how much is this? Bury your dead.”

And having confirmed that the field, in which there was a double cave overlooking Mamre, formerly belonged to Ephron, both it and the sepulcher, and all its trees, with all its surrounding limits,
