"Of the two burying-places of the patriarchs, one was at Hebron, the cave and field which Abraham purchased of Ephron the Hittite, (Gen 23:16, etc.); the other in Sychem, which Jacob (not Abraham) bought of the sons of Emmor, (Gen 33:19.) To remove this glaring discrepancy, Markland interprets [para ( para/ )] from, as it frequently signifies with a genitive, and renders, ""And were carried over to Sychem; and afterwards from among the descendants of Emmor, the father, or son, of Sychem, they were laid in the sepulchre which Abraham bought for a sum of money."" This agrees with the account which Josephus gives of the patriarchs; that they were carried out of Egypt, first to Sychem, and then to Hebron, where they were buried. Exd 13:19; Jos 24:32" |
