[23:18] 1 tn Heb “his city”; the referent (Ephron) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[23:11] 2 tn Heb “give.” The perfect tense has here a present nuance; this is a formal, legally binding declaration. Abraham asked only for a burial site/cave within the field; Ephron agrees to sell him the entire field.
[23:11] 3 tn The Hebrew text adds “to you I give [i.e., sell] it.” This is redundant in English and has not been translated for stylistic reasons.
[23:11] 4 tn Heb “in the presence of the sons of my people.”
