John Gill Commentary Genesis 25:10

"The field which Abraham purchased of the children of Heth. There was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife." — Genesis 25:10 (ASV)

The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth
Of one of them, Ephron, the rest being witnesses of it, (Genesis 23:16Genesis 23:18Genesis 23:20) ;

there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife ;
Sarah had been buried there thirty eight years before, which was the reason why his sons buried, him there; if he died in Beersheba, as seems probable, see (Genesis 24:62Genesis 24:67) ; from thence to Hebron were sixteen miles ^F8 ; so far was he carried to be interred.
