Genesis 23:17

Study

       

17 And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure

Arcana Coelestia #2938

Studere hoc loco

  
/ 10837  
  

2938. 'Let him give it to me in the midst of you as a possession for a grave' means possession gained thus through regeneration. This becomes clear without explanation, for 'a grave' is regeneration, as shown above in 2916.
