# A piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and you?

Ephron meant that since he and Abraham were both so wealthy, 400 pieces of silver was a small amount. This rhetorical question can be translated as a statement.

# four hundred shekels of silver

This is about 4.5 kilograms of silver. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-bweight]])

"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
