Genesis 23:10-20
10 Ephron the Hittite was sitting among his people and he replied to Abraham in the hearing of all the Hittites who had come to the gate of his city. 11 “No, my lord,” he said. “Listen to me; I give[b] you the field, and I give[c] you the cave that is in it. I give[d] it to you in the presence of my people. Bury your dead.”

12 Again Abraham bowed down before the people of the land 13 and he said to Ephron in their hearing, “Listen to me, if you will. I will pay the price of the field. Accept it from me so I can bury my dead there.”

14 Ephron answered Abraham, 15 “Listen to me, my lord; the land is worth four hundred shekels[e] of silver, but what is that between you and me? Bury your dead.”

16 Abraham agreed to Ephron’s terms and weighed out for him the price he had named in the hearing of the Hittites: four hundred shekels of silver, according to the weight current among the merchants.

17 So Ephron’s field in Machpelah near Mamre—both the field and the cave in it, and all the trees within the borders of the field—was deeded 18 to Abraham as his property in the presence of all the Hittites who had come to the gate of the city. 19 Afterward Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave in the field of Machpelah near Mamre (which is at Hebron) in the land of Canaan. 20 So the field and the cave in it were deeded to Abraham by the Hittites as a burial site.

Psalm 81New International Version (NIV)
Psalm 81[a]
For the director of music. According to gittith.[b] Of Asaph.

1
Sing for joy to God our strength;
shout aloud to the God of Jacob!
2
Begin the music, strike the timbrel,
play the melodious harp and lyre.

3
Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon,
and when the moon is full, on the day of our festival;
4
this is a decree for Israel,
an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5
When God went out against Egypt,
he established it as a statute for Joseph.

I heard an unknown voice say:

6
“I removed the burden from their shoulders;
their hands were set free from the basket.
7
In your distress you called and I rescued you,
I answered you out of a thundercloud;
I tested you at the waters of Meribah.[c]
8
Hear me, my people, and I will warn you—
if you would only listen to me, Israel!
9
You shall have no foreign god among you;
you shall not worship any god other than me.
10
I am the Lord your God,
who brought you up out of Egypt.
Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.

11
“But my people would not listen to me;
Israel would not submit to me.
12
So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts
to follow their own devices.

13
“If my people would only listen to me,
if Israel would only follow my ways,
14
how quickly I would subdue their enemies
and turn my hand against their foes!
15
Those who hate the Lord would cringe before him,
and their punishment would last forever.
16
But you would be fed with the finest of wheat;
with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
