Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a burying-place by the children of Heth." — Genesis 23:20 (ASV)

Were made sure unto Abraham. —For the difficulties connected with St. Stephen’s apparent confusion of this transaction with that recorded in Genesis 33:19, see Note on Acts 7:16.
