13 And spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the country, saying, Seeing thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me, I will give the price of the field: receive it of me, and I will bury my dead there.

15 My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred [a]shekels of silver: what is that between me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
