Summary and Jacob's Burial Command

28

All these are the twelve tribes of Isra'el, and this is how their father spoke to them and blessed them, giving each his own individual blessing.

29

Then he charged them as follows: "I am to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my ancestors in the cave that is in the field of 'Efron the Hitti,

30

the cave in the field of Makhpelah, by Mamre, in the land of Kena'an, which Avraham bought together with the field from 'Efron the Hitti as a burial-place belonging to him -

31

there they buried Avraham and his wife Sarah, there they buried Yitz'chak and his wife Rivkah, and there I buried Le'ah -

32

the field and the cave in it, which was purchased from the sons of Het."

33

When Ya'akov had finished charging his sons, he drew his legs up into the bed, breathed his last and was gathered to his people.
