Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(15) The land is worth . . . --Our version misses the courtliness of Ephron's answer, who only fixes the price indirectly, saying, "Land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that betwixt me and thee?" The money amounts to about 50, no mean price, considering the high value of silver in those days.Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrew“Listen to me,שְׁמָעֵ֔נִי (šə·mā·‘ê·nî)Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine singular | first person common singularStrong's 8085: To hear intelligentlymy lord.אֲדֹנִ֣י (’ă·ḏō·nî)Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common singularStrong's 113: Sovereign, controllerThe landאֶרֶץ֩ (’e·reṣ)Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 776: Earth, land[is worth] fourאַרְבַּ֨ע (’ar·ba‘)Number - feminine singular constructStrong's 702: Fourhundredמֵאֹ֧ת (mê·’ōṯ)Number - feminine plural constructStrong's 3967: A hundredshekelsשֶֽׁקֶל־ (še·qel-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 8255: A weight, a commercial standardof silver,כֶּ֛סֶף (ke·sep̄)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 3701: Silver, moneybut whatמַה־ (mah-)InterrogativeStrong's 4100: What?, what!, indefinitely whatis thatהִ֑וא (hî)Pronoun - third person feminine singularStrong's 1931: He, self, the same, this, that, as, arebetween you and me?בֵּינִ֥י (bê·nî)Preposition | first person common singularStrong's 996: An interval, space betweenBuryקְבֹֽר׃ (qə·ḇōr)Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine singularStrong's 6912: To interyour dead.”מֵתְךָ֖ (mê·ṯə·ḵā)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 4191: To die, to killJump to PreviousBetwixt Bury Dead Ear Field Four Hear Hearken Hundred Land Piece Rest Shekels Silver Value Worth
