2934. Verse 9 And let him give me the cave of Machpelah which is his, which is at the end of his field; for the full price ¹ let him give it to me in the midst of you, as a possession for a grave.

'Let him give me the cave of Machpelah which is his' means the obscurity of faith that was theirs. 'Which is at the end of his field' means where little of the Church exists. 'For the full price' means redemption by means of truth. 'Let him give it to me in the midst of you as a possession for a grave' means possession gained thus through regeneration.
