Genesis 49:31 In-Context

29 Jacob ordered them, "I am soon to join my people. Bury me with my ancestors in the cave that's in the field of Ephron the Hittite;

30 in the cave that's in the field of Machpelah near Mamre in the land of Canaan that Abraham bought from Ephron the Hittite as a burial property.

31 That is where Abraham and his wife Sarah are buried, and where Isaac and his wife Rebekah are buried, and where I buried Leah.

32 It is the field and the cave in it that belonged to the Hittites."

33 After he finished giving orders to his sons, he put his feet up on the bed, took his last breath, and joined his people.
