Wakhuluma ku-Efroni ezindlebeni zabantu balelo zwe, wathi: “Ake ungilalele: ngizakukunika imali yensimu; yamukele kimi, ngimmbele khona ofileyo wami.” U-Efroni wamphendula u-Abrahama, wathi kuye: “Nkosi yami, ngilalele: izwe elilingene namashekeli* angamakhulu amane esiliva liyini phakathi kwami nawe na? Mmbele ofileyo wakho.” U-Abrahama wamuzwa u-Efroni; u-Abrahama wamlinganisela u-Efroni isiliva abelishilo ezindlebeni zabantwana bakwaHeti, amashekeli angamakhulu amane esiliva, avunywa ngabathengisi.
