16 Abraham listened to Ephron; And Abraham weighed out to Ephron the amount of silver he had declared aloud to the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, such as the merchants have.

17 And the field of Ephron that was at Machpelah stood against Mamre, and the field and the cave that was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, in all the borders thereof,

18 the dominion of Abraham in the sight of the children of Heth, all who enter into the gates of his city.

19 After these things Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field in Machpelah, opposite Mamre, which is now Hebron, in the land of Canaan.

20 Thus Abraham received from the children of Heath the field and the cave which is in it for his burial property.

Chapter 24

1 Abraham was already old and advanced in years. The Lord blessed Abraham with everything.

2 And Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who was in charge of all that he had, Put thy hand under my thigh

3 And swear to me by the Lord, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take to my son [Isaac] a wife from among the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live,

4 But thou shalt go into my land, to my homeland, and thou shalt take a wife for my son Isaac.

5 And the servant said unto him, Perhaps the woman will not go with me into this land, shall I bring thy son back to the land whence thou camest?

6 Abraham said to him, 'Take heed, do not bring my son back there;

7 The Lord, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, I will give this land to you and to your descendants, he will send his angel before you, and you will take a wife for my son [Isaac] from thence;

8 But if a woman will not go with thee, thou shalt be free from this oath of mine. Only do not return my son there.
