14 Et Éphron répondit à Abraham, en lui disant:
15 Mon seigneur, écoute-moi! Une terre de quatre cents sicles d’argent, qu’est-ce que cela entre moi et toi? Enterre ton mort.
16 Abraham comprit Éphron; et Abraham pesa à Éphron l’argent qu’il avait dit, en présence des fils de Heth, quatre cents sicles d’argent ayant cours chez le marchand.
17 Le champ d’Éphron à Macpéla, vis-à-vis de Mamré, le champ et la caverne qui y est, et tous les arbres qui sont dans le champ et dans toutes ses limites alentour,
18 devinrent ainsi la propriété d’Abraham, aux yeux des fils de Heth et de tous ceux qui entraient par la porte de sa ville.
