2977. Verse 19. And after this Abraham buried Sarah his wife, in the cave of the field of Machpelah, upon the faces of Mamre, the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan. “After this,” signifies that it was so; “Abraham buried Sarah his wife,” signifies that they received from the Lord truth conjoined with good; “in the cave of the field of Machpelah, upon the faces of Mamre,” signifies that thus they were regenerated so far as they could be; “the same is Hebron,” signifies that this was a new church; “in the land of Canaan,” signifies which in the Lord’s kingdom is one.
