"Abraham weighed the silver and gave Ephron the amount" or "Abraham counted out to Ephron the amount of silver"
# the amount of silver that he had spoken
"the amount of silver that Ephron had said"
# in the hearing of the sons of Heth
The abstract noun "the hearing" can be stated as "hear" or "listening." Alternate translation: "so that all the sons of Heth could hear him" or "while all the sons of Heth were listening" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns]])
# the sons of Heth
Here "sons" stands for those who descended from Heth. See how you translated this in [Genesis 23:3](../23/03.md). Alternate translation: "the descendants of Heth" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-names]])
"the descendants of Heth"
# according to the standard measurement of the merchants
"using the standard measurement of weight that merchants used." This can be stated as a new sentence. Alternate translation: "He weighed the silver the same way that the merchants used to weigh it"
"He weighed the silver the same way that the merchants used to weigh it"
