2985. 'To Abraham as a possession for a grave' means, came from the Lord alone by means of regeneration. This is clear from the representation of 'Abraham' as the Lord, often dealt with already, and from the meaning of 'a possession' as that which is His and so the Lord's alone, see above in 2974, and from the meaning of 'a grave' as regeneration, also dealt with above in 2916.
