Genesis 23:14 In-Context

12 Again Abraham bowed down in front of the people of the land.

13 He spoke to Ephron so they could hear him. He said, "Please listen to me. I'll pay the price of the field. Accept it from me. Then I can bury my dead wife there."

14 Ephron answered Abraham

15 "Sir, listen to me. The land is worth ten pounds of silver. But what is that between you and me? Bury your wife."

16 Abraham agreed to Ephron's offer. He weighed out for him the price he had named. The Hittites there had heard it. The price was ten pounds of silver. Abraham measured it by the weights that were used by those who bought and sold.
