Genesis 23:14 In-Context

12 Abraham bowed respectfully before the assembled council
13 and answered Ephron: "Please allow me - I want to pay the price of the land; take my money so that I can go ahead and bury my wife."
14 Then Ephron answered Abraham
15 "If you insist, master. What's four hundred silver shekels between us? Now go ahead and bury your wife."
16 Abraham accepted Ephron's offer and paid out the sum that Ephron had named before the town council of Hittites - four hundred silver shekels at the current exchange rate.
