01:023:010 And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth:  and Ephron the
           Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of
           Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city,
           saying,

01:023:011 Nay, my lord, hear me:  the field give I thee, and the cave
           that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons
           of my people give I it thee:  bury thy dead.

01:023:012 And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land.

01:023:013 And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the
           land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: 
           I will give thee money for the field; take it of me, and I
           will bury my dead there.

01:023:014 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,

01:023:015 My lord, hearken unto me:  the land is worth four hundred
           shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury
           therefore thy dead.

01:023:016 And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to
           Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the
           sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money
           with the merchant.

01:023:017 And the field of Ephron which was in Machpelah, which was
           before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and
           all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the
           borders round about, were made sure

01:023:018 Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children
           of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.

01:023:019 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of
           the field of Machpelah before Mamre:  the same is Hebron in the
           land of Canaan.

01:023:020 And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure
           unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of
           Heth.

01:024:001 And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age:  and the lord
           had blessed Abraham in all things.

01:024:002 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that
           ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under
           my thigh: 

01:024:003 And I will make thee swear by the lord, the God of heaven, and
           the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my
           son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell: 

01:024:004 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take
           a wife unto my son Isaac.

01:024:005 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not
           be willing to follow me unto this land:  must I needs bring thy
           son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
