(KJV.) GENESIS 49:30-33
(30) In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Caanan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace.
(31) There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife, and there I buried Leah.
(32) The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth.
(33) And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.
ADDENDUM
Why did Jacob specifically mention his graveyard site to his children?
