Genesis 49:31-33

Contemporary English Version

Jacob's Death

^29-31 (A) Jacob told his sons:

Soon I will die, and I want you to bury me in Machpelah Cave. Abraham bought this cave as a burial place from Ephron the Hittite, and it is near the town of Mamre in Canaan. Abraham and Sarah are buried there, and so are Isaac and Rebekah. I buried Leah there too. ³² Both the cave and the land that goes with it were bought from the Hittites.

^33 (B) When Jacob had finished giving these instructions to his sons, he lay down on his bed and died.
