1. Mosebok 23,10

AbrahamEphronHeth

8 Han sa til dem: "Hvis dere er villige til at jeg skal begrave min døde bort fra mitt åsyn, så hør på meg og gå i forbønn for meg hos Efron, Sohars sønn,

9 så han kan selge meg Makpela-hulen, som tilhører ham og ligger i enden av hans mark. La ham selge den til meg for full pris som en gravplass blant dere."

Efron satt blant hetittene, og han svarte Abraham mens alle hetittene som hadde kommet til byporten hans hørte det, og sa,

11 "Nei, herre, hør på meg. Jeg gir deg marken, og også hulen som er i den. I nærvær av mitt folk gir jeg deg den. Begrav din døde."

12 Abraham bøyde seg igjen for landets folk.
