23:9 That he may give 5414 8799 me the cave 4631 of Machpelah 4375, which he hath, which [is] in the end 7097 of his field 7704; for as much 4392 0 money 3701 as it is worth 4392 he shall give it 5414 8799 me for a possession 272 of a buryingplace 6913 amongst you 8432.(as much…: Heb. full money)

23:10 And Ephron 6085 dwelt 3427 8802 among 8432 the children 1121 of Heth 2845: and Ephron 6085 the Hittite 2850 answered 6030 8799 Abraham 85 in the audience 241 of the children 1121 of Heth 2845, [even] of all that went in 935 8802 at the gate 8179 of his city 5892, saying 559 8800,(audience: Heb. ears)

23:11 Nay 3808, my lord 113, hear me 8085 8798: the field 7704 give I 5414 8804 thee, and the cave 4631 that [is] therein, I give it 5414 8804 thee; in the presence 5869 of the sons 1121 of my people 5971 give 5414 8804 I it thee: bury 6912 8798 thy dead 4191 8801.

23:16 And Abraham 85 hearkened 8085 8799 unto Ephron 6085; and Abraham 85 weighed 8254 8799 to Ephron 6085 the silver 3701, which he had named 1696 8765 in the audience 241 of the sons 1121 of Heth 2845, four 702 hundred 3967 shekels 8255 of silver 3701, current 5674 8802 [money] with the merchant 5503 8802.
