Genesis 23:7-11

New International Version

⁷ Then Abraham rose and bowed down before the people of the land, the Hittites. ⁸ He said to them, “If you are willing to let me bury my dead, then listen to me and intercede with Ephron son of Zohar^(A) on my behalf ⁹ so he will sell me the cave of Machpelah,^(B) which belongs to him and is at the end of his field. Ask him to sell it to me for the full price as a burial site among you.”

¹⁰ Ephron the Hittite was sitting among his people and he replied to Abraham in the hearing of all the Hittites^(C) who had come to the gate^(D) of his city. ¹¹ “No, my lord,” he said. “Listen to me; I give^[a](E) you the field, and I give^[b] you the cave that is in it. I give^[c] it to you in the presence of my people. Bury your dead.”
