at Machpelah east of Mamre in the land of Canaan. Abraham bought this cave and field from Ephron for a burial ground.
So the field which had belonged to the Hittites, and the cave in it, became the property of Abraham for a burial ground.
He left the place where his wife's body was lying, went to the Hittites, and said,
“I am a foreigner living here among you; sell me some land, so that I can bury my wife.”
His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in Machpelah Cave, in the field east of Mamre that had belonged to Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite.
