Ephron — a Hittite landowner in Hebron; also a city near Bethel taken by Abijah.
This proper noun identifies two distinct biblical figures or places. The primary referent is Ephron the Hittite, the landowner from whom Abraham purchased the cave of Machpelah as a burial site for Sarah (Genesis 23). The elaborate negotiation between Abraham and Ephron before the sons of Heth is one of the Bible's most detailed commercial transactions. A secondary referent is a city listed in 2 Chronicles 13:19, sometimes vocalized as Ephrain, which Abijah king of Judah captured from Jeroboam along with Bethel and Jeshanah.

1. Ephron — Ephron the Hittite, the owner of the field and cave of Machpelah near Hebron. Genesis 23:8–17 records Abraham's negotiation to purchase the burial site, with Ephron initially offering the field as a gift before naming a price of four hundred shekels of silver. Spanish 'Efrón' and French 'Ephron' preserve the name consistently. All fourteen occurrences cluster in Genesis 23, 25:9, 49:29–30, and 50:13, always in connection with the Machpelah property. 14×

2. (Ephrain) — A city (sometimes vocalized Ephrain or Ephron) captured by King Abijah of Judah from the northern kingdom. In 2 Chronicles 13:19, it appears alongside Bethel and Jeshanah as towns seized after Abijah's victory over Jeroboam. Spanish 'Efrayín' reflects a variant vocalization. This single occurrence likely refers to a location near Bethel, possibly identical with Ophrah or Ephraim mentioned elsewhere. 1×
