28 These are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father said as he spoke a suitable word of farewell to each son.
29 Then Jacob commanded his sons, “Now that I am going to join my people in death, bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
30 at Machpelah, east of Mamre, in the land of Canaan. Abraham bought this cave and field from Ephron for a burial ground.
31 That is where they buried Abraham and his wife Sarah; that is where they buried Isaac and his wife Rebecca; and that is where I buried Leah.
32 The field and the cave in it were bought from the Hittites. Bury me there.”
33 When Jacob had finished giving instructions to his sons, he lay down again and died.
