Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
(double). Abraham’s burial cave at Hebron (Gen. 23:17-19; 25:9; 49:29-32; 50:13).
Concise Bible Dictionary:
Both a field and a cave which Abraham bought of the children of Heth for a burying place. It was near Hebron; Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob and Leah were buried there (Gen. 23:9,17,19; Gen. 25:9; Gen. 49:30-31; Gen. 50:13). The manner in which the purchase was accomplished is exactly the way bargains are to this day arranged in the East by the Bedouins. See HEBRON.
