29 Then Jacob instructed them, “I am about to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave in the field of Ephron (fawn-like) the Hittite. 30 The cave is in the field of Machpelah (double) near Mamre (strength / fatness), in the land of Canaan (lowland). This is the field Abraham (father of many) purchased from Ephron (fawn-like) the Hittite as a burial site. 31 There Abraham (father of many) and his wife Sarah (princess) are buried, there Isaac (he laughs) and his wife Rebekah (ensnarer) are buried, and there I buried Leah (weary). 32 The field and the cave that is in it were purchased from the Hittites (terror).” 33 When Jacob (he grasps the heel) had finished instructing his sons, he pulled his feet into the bed and breathed his last, and he was gathered to his people.
