Genesis 49:28-30

International Standard Version

Jacob Dies and is Buried

²⁸ That’s how Israel blessed these^[a] twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father told them when he pronounced his blessing for them, blessing each one with a blessing suitable for them. ²⁹ In his last words, Jacob^[b] issued this set of instructions to them all: “I’m about to join^[c] our ancestors. Bury me alongside my ancestors in the cave in the field that used to belong to Ephron the Hittite. ³⁰ It’s the cave in the field near Mamre at Machpelah in the land of Canaan that Abraham bought to serve as a cemetery.
