(Now Ephron was sitting among the sons of Heth.) Ephron the Hethite replied to Abraham in the hearing of the sons of Heth – before all who entered the gate of his city –

Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, Heth,

The sons of Heth answered Abraham,

Abraham got up and bowed down to the local people, the sons of Heth.

The field and the cave in it were acquired from the sons of Heth.”

Then Abraham got up from mourning his dead wife and said to the sons of Heth,

as his property in the presence of the sons of Heth before all who entered the gate of Ephron’s city.

So Abraham secured the field and the cave that was in it as a burial site from the sons of Heth.

This was the field Abraham had purchased from the sons of Heth. There Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah.

Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am deeply depressed because of these daughters of Heth. If Jacob were to marry one of these daughters of Heth who live in this land, I would want to die!”

So Abraham agreed to Ephron’s price and weighed out for him the price that Ephron had quoted in the hearing of the sons of Heth – 400 pieces of silver, according to the standard measurement at the time.
