6550. 'As a possession for a grave, from Ephron the Hittite' means those who receive the truth and good of faith and allow themselves to be regenerated. This is clear from the meaning of 'a grave' as regeneration, dealt with in 2916, 2917, 5551, 6459; and from the representation of 'Ephron the Hittite' as those with whom the ability exists to receive goodness and truth, dealt with in 6458.
