Genesis 23:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ Ephron answered Abraham, ¹⁵ “Sir, the land is worth ten pounds of silver. But I won’t argue with you over the price. Take the land, and bury your dead wife.”

¹⁶ Abraham agreed and paid Ephron in front of the Hittite witnesses. Abraham weighed out the full price: ten pounds of silver. They counted the weight as the traders normally did.
