“He talked with them, saying, "If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,”
“And said to them: If it please your soul that I should bury my dead, hear me, and intercede for me to Ephron the son of Seor.”

The sons of Heth answered Abraham,
“Listen, sir, you are a mighty prince among us! You may bury your dead in the choicest of our tombs. None of us will refuse you his tomb to prevent you from burying your dead.”
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
if he will sell me the cave of Machpelah that belongs to him; it is at the end of his field. Let him sell it to me publicly for the full price, so that I may own it as a burial site.”
(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.”
