Note 1 topic: writing-politeness
לֹֽא אֲדֹנִ֣י
not my=master
Make sure your translation of this phase sounds polite. In some cultures it is rude to say No too directly. Alternate translation: “That is not necessary, sir.” or “Sir, there is no need for that.”
שְׁמָעֵ֔נִי
hear,me
Alternate translation: “Please listen to my proposal:” or “Please accept this proposal:” or “Please listen to what I am proposing:”
הַשָּׂדֶה֙ נָתַ֣תִּי לָ֔ךְ
the=field I_give to/for=you(fs)
Ephron is making a formal proposal or offer. Consider what is the best way to communicate that in your language. Alternate translation: “I hereby offer you the entire field,”
וְהַמְּעָרָ֥ה אֲשֶׁר בּ֖וֹ לְךָ֣ נְתַתִּ֑יהָ
and,the,cave which/who in/on/over=him/it to/for=yourself(m) give,it
Alternate translation: “as well as the cave that is in it.”
לְעֵינֵ֧י בְנֵי עַמִּ֛י
in,sight sons_of people,my
Alternate translation: “in the sight of the elders of my people.” or “as the elders of my people listen as witnesses.” or “and all the elders of my people here are witnesses of this.”
קְבֹ֥ר מֵתֶֽךָ
bury dead,your
Alternate translation: “You can bury your dead wife there.” or “Please go ahead and bury your dead wife on that land.”
23:11 Ephron did not intend to give the cave to Abraham; Abraham was expected to “give” the full price in return. Ephron wanted to sell as much as he could to avoid responsibility for caring for the cave and to receive as high a price as possible.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
