Genesis 23:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

⁹ Ask him to sell the cave of Machpelah to me. It belongs to Ephron. It is at the edge of his field. You will see that I pay the proper price to him. Then it will belong to me. I can bury my family there when they die.’

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.’
