2944. Verse 11 No, my lord, hear me; the field I give to you, and the cave that is in it I give to you; before the eyes of the sons of my people I give it to you; bury your dead.

'No, my lord, hear me' means that initial state dealt with already. 'The field I give to you, and the cave that is in it I give to you' means preparation from themselves as regards the things that belong to the Church and to faith. 'Before the eyes of the sons of my people I give it to you' means according to the understanding of everyone. 'Bury your dead' means that they may emerge from night and be raised up again.
