28. These are the twelve families of Israel. And this is what their father said to them. He gave each son a blessing that was right for him.
29. Then Israel gave them a command. He said, “When I die, I want to be with my people. I want to be buried with my ancestors in the cave in the field of Ephron the Hittite.
30. That cave is in the field of Machpelah near Mamre in the land of Canaan. Abraham bought that field from Ephron so that he could have a burying place.
31. Abraham and his wife Sarah are buried in that cave. Isaac and his wife Rebekah are buried in that cave. I buried my wife Leah in that cave.
32. That cave is in the field that was bought from the Hittites.”
33. After Jacob finished talking to his sons, he lay down, put his feet back on the bed, and died.
