wakhuluma nabo , wathi: Uma kuyintando yenu ukuba ngimmbele ofileyo wami, angabikho ebusweni bami, ngizweni, ninginxusele ku-Efroni indodana kaSowari

U-Efroni wayehlezi phakathi kwabantwana bakwaH eti: u-Efroni umHeti wamphendula u -Abrahama ezindlebeni zabantwana bakwaHeti phambi kwabo bonke abangena esangweni lomuzi wakhe, wathi:

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:

U-Abrahama wamuzwa u -Efroni; u-Abrahama wamlinganisela u -Efroni isiliva abelishilo ezindle beni zabantwana bakwaHeti , amashekeli angamakhulu amane esiliva, avunywa ngabathengisi.

Kanjalo insimu ka -Efroni yaseMakaphela elingaphambi kweMamre , insimu nomhume okuyo , nemithi yonke esensimini nxazonke kuze kube semikhawulweni yonke

O-Isaka no -Ishmayeli amadodana akhe bammbela emhumeni waseMakaphela, ensimini ka-Efroni indodana kaSowari umHeti engaphambi kweMamre,

Wabayala, wathi kubo: Mina sengiyakubuthelwa kubantu bami; ngimbeleni kobaba emhumeni osensimini ka-Efroni umHeti,

umhume osensimini yaseMakaphela eliphambi kweMamre ezweni laseKhanani, awuthenga u-Abrahama kanye nensimu ku -Efroni umHeti, ube yindawo yakhe yokumbela;

ngokuba amadodana akhe amyisa ezweni laseKhanani , ammbela emhumeni wasensimini yaseMakaphela , u-Abrahama awuthenga kanye nensimu ku-Efroni umHeti, ube yindawo yokumbela, ngaphambi kweMamre.

umkhawulo wawususuka esiqongweni sentaba , waya emthonjeni wamanzi aseNefitowa, waphuma waya emizini yasentabeni yase -Efroni; umkhawulo wasuka waya eBahala eliyiKiriyati Jeharimi;

U-Abiya wamxosha uJerobowamu , wamaphuca imizi : iBethele nemizana yalo, neJeshana nemizana yalo, ne-Efroni nemizana yalo.
