Then Jacob instructed them,“ Soon I will die and join my ancestors. Bury me with my father and grandfather in the cave in the field of Ephron the Hittite.This is the cave in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre in Canaan, that Abraham bought from Ephron the Hittite as a permanent burial site.There Abraham and his wife Sarah are buried. There Isaac and his wife, Rebekah, are buried. And there I buried Leah.It is the plot of land and the cave that my grandfather Abraham bought from the Hittites.”

His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite.

Then Abraham buried his wife, Sarah, there in Canaan, in the cave of Machpelah, near Mamre( also called Hebron).

Tell him that my father made me swear an oath. He said to me,‘ Listen, I am about to die. Take my body back to the land of Canaan, and bury me in the tomb I prepared for myself.’ So please allow me to go and bury my father. After his burial, I will return without delay.”Pharaoh agreed to Joseph’s request.“ Go and bury your father, as he made you promise,” he said.So Joseph went up to bury his father. He was accompanied by all of Pharaoh’s officials, all the senior members of Pharaoh’s household, and all the senior officers of Egypt.Joseph also took his entire household and his brothers and their households. But they left their little children and flocks and herds in the land of Goshen.A great number of chariots and charioteers accompanied Joseph.When they arrived at the threshing floor of Atad, near the Jordan River, they held a very great and solemn memorial service, with a seven day period of mourning for Joseph’s father.The local residents, the Canaanites, watched them mourning at the threshing floor of Atad. Then they renamed that place( which is near the Jordan) Abel mizraim, for they said,“ This is a place of deep mourning for these Egyptians.”So Jacob’s sons did as he had commanded them.They carried his body to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre. This is the cave that Abraham had bought as a permanent burial site from Ephron the Hittite.After burying Jacob, Joseph returned to Egypt with his brothers and all who had accompanied him to his father’s burial.

So Jacob went to Egypt. He died there, as did our ancestors.Their bodies were taken to Shechem and buried in the tomb Abraham had bought for a certain price from Hamor’s sons in Shechem.

Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear an oath, and he said,“ When God comes to help you and lead you back, you must take my bones with you.”

but I replied,“ Long live the king! How can I not be sad? For the city where my ancestors are buried is in ruins, and the gates have been destroyed by fire.”

I replied,“ If it please the king, and if you are pleased with me, your servant, send me to Judah to rebuild the city where my ancestors are buried.”

Then let me return again to die in my own town, where my father and mother are buried. But here is your servant, my son Kimham. Let him go with my lord the king and receive whatever you want to give him.”

You came back to this place and ate and drank where he told you not to eat or drink. Because of this, your body will not be buried in the grave of your ancestors.”
