Genesis 23:10-16

Ephron was sitting among the Hittites at the city gate. He answered Abraham, “No, sir. I will give you the land and the cave that is in it, with these people as witnesses. Bury your dead wife.” Then Abraham bowed down before the Hittites. He said to Ephron before all the people, “Please let me pay you the full price for the field. Accept my money, and I will bury my dead there.” Ephron answered Abraham, “Sir, the land is worth ten pounds of silver, but I won’t argue with you over the price. Take the land, and bury your dead wife.” Abraham agreed and paid Ephron in front of the Hittite witnesses. He weighed out the full price, ten pounds of silver, and they counted the weight as the traders normally did.
