Genesis 23:10-12

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁰ Ephron was sitting there with his people, at the city gate. He spoke so that all the Hittites could hear him. ¹¹ Ephron said, ‘No sir. Please listen to me. You may take my field as well as the cave. I promise in front of my people that I will give all this to you. Then you can bury your dead wife there.’

¹² Abraham again turned his face towards the ground to respect the people who lived in that place.
