Alternate translation: “that was in the Machpelah area”

אֲשֶׁ֖ר לִ⁠פְנֵ֣י מַמְרֵ֑א

For some languages it may be better to break up this long sentence, change the order of the phrases in this verse, and say, “So Ephron sold his field to Abraham, including the cave that was in the field, as well as all the trees that were inside its boundaries. The field was in the Machpelah area near the city of Mamre. Ephron sold the/that field …” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “was legally sold by Ephron” or “Ephron sold all of that”
