6 Dinggin mo kami, panginoon ko: ikaw ay prinsipe ng Dios sa gitna namin: sa pinakahirang sa aming mga libingan ay ilibing mo ang iyong patay; wala sa amin na magkakait sa iyo ng kaniyang libingan, upang paglibingan ng iyong patay.

2977. Verse 19 And after this Abraham buried Sarah his wife at the cave of the field of Machpelah facing Mamre, which is Hebron, in the land of Canaan.

'After this' means that it was so. 'Abraham buried Sarah his wife' means that they received truth joined to good from the Lord. 'At the cave of the field of Machpelah facing Mamre' means that in this way they were regenerated to the extent that they could be. 'Which is Hebron' means that this was a new Church. 'In the land of Canaan' means which was a united whole in the Lord's kingdom.
