Genesis 23:16-18

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁶ Abraham agreed to Ephron’s terms. So he weighed out for Ephron the amount stated in front of the Hittites: ten pounds of silver at the current merchants’ exchange rate.

¹⁷ So Ephron’s field at Machpelah, east of Mamre, was sold ¹⁸ to Abraham. His property included the field with the cave in it as well as all the trees inside the boundaries of the field.^[a] The Hittites together with all who had entered the city gate were the official witnesses for the agreement.
