- Genesis 23:17
וַיָּקׇם ׀ שְׂדֵה עֶפְרוֹן אֲשֶׁר בַּמַּכְפֵּלָה אֲשֶׁר לִפְנֵי מַמְרֵא הַשָּׂדֶה וְהַמְּעָרָה אֲשֶׁר־בּוֹ וְכׇל־הָעֵץ אֲשֶׁר בַּשָּׂדֶה אֲשֶׁר בְּכׇל־גְּבֻלוֹ סָבִיב׃
So Ephron’s land in Machpelah, near Mamre—the field with its cave and all the trees anywhere within the confines of that field—passed
Targum Onkelos
וְקָם חֲקַל עֶפְרוֹן דִּבְכָפֵילְתָּא דִּקְדָם מַמְרֵא חַקְלָא וּמְעָרְתָא דְּבֵיהּ וְכָל אִילָנֵי דִּבְחַקְלָא דִּבְכָל תְּחוּמֵיהּ סְחוֹר סְחוֹר׃
The field of Ephron was established [as Avraham’s possession], [the field] which was in Machpeilah, facing Mamrei; [this included] the field, the cave that was in it, and all the trees that were in the field that were in the entire circumference of its boundaries.
- Genesis 23:18
לְאַבְרָהָם לְמִקְנָה לְעֵינֵי בְנֵי־חֵת בְּכֹל בָּאֵי שַׁעַר־עִירוֹ׃
to Abraham as his possession, in the presence of the Hittites, of the assembly in his town’s gate.
Targum Onkelos
לְאַבְרָהָם לִזְבִינוֹהִי לְעֵינֵי בְּנֵי חִתָּאָה בְּכֹל עָלֵי תְּרַע קַרְתֵּיהּ׃
This became Avraham’s [possession] through a purchase before the eyes of the sons of Cheis, all who had come to the gate of his city.
- Genesis 23:19
וְאַחֲרֵי־כֵן קָבַר אַבְרָהָם אֶת־שָׂרָה אִשְׁתּוֹ אֶל־מְעָרַת שְׂדֵה הַמַּכְפֵּלָה עַל־פְּנֵי מַמְרֵא הִוא חֶבְרוֹן בְּאֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן׃
And then Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave of the field of Machpelah, facing Mamre—now Hebron—in the land of Canaan.
Targum Onkelos
וּבָתַר כֵּן קְבַר אַבְרָהָם יָת שָׂרָה אִתְּתֵיהּ בִּמְעָרַת חֲקַל כָּפֵילְתָּא עַל אַפֵּי מַמְרֵא הִיא חֶבְרוֹן בְּאַרְעָא דִּכְנָעַן׃
After that Avraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave of the Machpeilah field, which faces Mamrei, which is Chevron, in the land of Canaan.
- Genesis 23:20
וַיָּקׇם הַשָּׂדֶה וְהַמְּעָרָה אֲשֶׁר־בּוֹ לְאַבְרָהָם לַאֲחֻזַּת־קָבֶר מֵאֵת בְּנֵי־חֵת׃
Thus the field with its cave passed from the Hittites to Abraham, as a burial site.
Targum Onkelos
וְקָם חַקְלָא וּמְעָרְתָא דְּבֵיהּ לְאַבְרָהָם לְאַחְסָנַת קְבוּרָא מִן בְּנֵי חִתָּאָה׃
The field and its cave was established as Avraham’s possession as a gravesite, by the sons of Cheis.

And Abraham said to the senior servant of his household, who had charge of all that he owned, “Put your hand under my thigh
