Genesis 25:10 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 25:10

The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth
Of one of them, Ephron, the rest being witnesses of it, ( Genesis 23:16 Genesis 23:18 Genesis 23:20 ) ;

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 Genesis 24:67 ) ; from thence to Hebron were sixteen miles ^F8; so far was he carried to be interred.
