(KJV.) GENESIS 25:8-16
(8) Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.
(9) And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre.
(10) The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
(11) And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-Roi.
(12) Now, these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hager the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham.
(13) And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Midsam,
(14) And Mishma and Dumah, and Massa,
(15) Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
(16) These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
ADDENDUM:
Sarah, the wife of Abraham was buried in the cave of Machpelah; when Abraham died, why was it necessary for his body to be transported from the land of Egypt for burial inside the same tomb?
