'Ephron was sitting in the midst of the sons of Heth' means those who were primarily able to receive the good and truth of faith. 'And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham' means the state of their receptivity. 'In the ears of the sons of Heth' means obedience. 'To all entering into the gate of his city, saying' means matters of doctrine through which one comes to faith.
