When Abraham’s wife Sarah died, he needed a place to bury her, but since he was sojourning in the land, he did not own property. Therefore, he sought to buy a burial place from the locals, but they wanted to give it to him. He insisted on paying for it, not wanting to take advantage of their respect for him.

And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him, “My lord, listen to me; the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver. What is that between you and me? So bury your dead.” And Abraham listened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed out the silver for Ephron which he had named in the hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, currency of the merchants (Genesis 23.14–16).

Everyone acted fairly and honorably, because honor exceeds business matters.
