Brenton 1851
Now when they came unto Ephron (this was a great city in the way as they should go, very well fortified) they could not turn from it, either on the right hand or the left, but must needs pass through the midst of it.
Greek · Brenton
Καὶ ἦλθον ἕως Ἐφρών· καὶ αὕτη ἡ πόλις μεγάλη ἐπὶ τῆς εἰσόδου ὀχυρὰ σφόδρα· οὐκ ἦν ἐκκλῖναι ἀπʼ αὐτῆς δεξιὰν ἢ ἀριστερὰν, ἀλλʼ ἢ διὰ μέσου αὐτῆς πορεύεσθαι.
