⁹ Then Boaz said to the responsible men and to all the people, You are witnesses today that I have taken at a price from Naomi all the property which was Elimelech's, and everything which was Chilion's and Mahlon's.

¹⁶ And Abraham took note of the price fixed by Ephron in the hearing of the children of Heth, and gave him four hundred shekels in current money.

¹⁷ So Ephron's field at Machpelah near Mamre, with the hollow in the rock and all the trees in the field and round it,

¹⁸ Became the property of Abraham before the eyes of the children of Heth and of all who came into the town.

¹⁰ And I put it in writing, stamping it with my stamp, and I took witnesses and put the money into the scales.

¹¹ So I took the paper witnessing the business, one copy rolled up and stamped, and one copy open:

¹² And I gave the paper to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, before the eyes of Hanamel, the son of my father's brother, and of the witnesses who had put their names to the paper, and before all the Jews who were seated in the place of the armed watchmen.
