2 Και απεθανεν η Σαρρα εν Κιριαθ-αρβα· αυτη ειναι η Χεβρων εν γη Χανααν· και ηλθεν ο Αβρααμ δια να κλαυση την Σαρραν και να πενθηση αυτην.

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.
