Acts 7:15-16
Jacob Gen 46:3-7; Num 20:15; Deut 10:22, Deut 26:5; Josh 24:4 died Gen 49:33; Exod 1:6; Heb 11:21-22 were 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 παρα G3844, 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. Exod 13:19; Josh 24:32 the sepulchre Gen 33:9-20, Gen 35:19, Gen 49:29-32 Emmor Gen 34:2-31, Hamor, Shechem
