Genesis 23:11-13

International Standard Version

¹¹ “No, sir.^[a] Listen to me! I’ll give you the field, and I’ll give you the cave that’s in it. I give it to you publicly, in the sight of my people. Bury your dead.”

¹² Abraham bowed before the people of the land ¹³ and then addressed Ephron so all the people of the land could hear him: “Please listen to me! I’m willing to pay the price of the field. Accept it from me, so I may bury my dead there.”
