The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth,.... Of one of them, Ephron, the rest being witnesses of it, Genesis 23:16,
there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife; Sarah had been buried there thirty eight years before, which was the reason why his sons buried, him there; if he died in Beersheba, as seems probable, see Genesis 24:62; from thence to Hebron were sixteen miles (h); so far was he carried to be interred.
