Genesis 23:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 23:10

8 And he spoke with them, saying, “If it is your wish that I bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and¹ meet with Ephron the son of Zohar for me,

9 that he may give me the cave of ^aMachpelah which he has, which is at the end of his field. Let him give it to me at the full price, as property for a burial place among you.”

10 Now Ephron dwelt among the sons of Heth; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the presence of the sons of Heth, all who ^aentered at the gate of his city, saying,

11 ^a“No, my lord, hear me: I give you the field and the cave that is in it; I give it to you in the presence of the sons of my people. I give it to you. Bury your dead!”

12 Then Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land;

13 and he spoke to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying, “If you will give it, please hear me. I will give you money for the field; take it from me and I will bury my dead there.”
