Ephron the Hittite was sitting among his people and he replied to Abraham in the hearing of all the Hittites  who had come to the gate  of his city.   “No, my lord,” he said. “Listen to me; I give  you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. I give it to you in the presence of my people. Bury your dead.”
