Then they attacked En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh) again,<n id="1" /> and they conquered all the territory of the Amalekites, as well as the Amorites who were living in Hazazon Tamar.p>

<p class="bodytext">After this Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave in the field of Machpelah next to Mamre (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan.

His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah<n id="1" /> near Mamre, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar, the Hethite.
