 sepulchre
      n : a chamber that is used as a grave [syn: burial chamber, sepulcher,
           sepulture]

 Sepulchre
    first mentioned as purchased by Abraham for Sarah from Ephron
    the Hittite (Gen. 23:20). This was the "cave of the field of
    Machpelah," where also Abraham and Rebekah and Jacob and Leah
    were burried (79:29-32). In Acts 7:16 it is said that Jacob was
    "laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of
    the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem." It has been proposed,
    as a mode of reconciling the apparent discrepancy between this
    verse and Gen. 23:20, to read Acts 7:16 thus: "And they [i.e.,
    our fathers] were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the
    sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of
    Emmor [the son] of Sychem." In this way the purchase made by
    Abraham is not to be confounded with the purchase made by Jacob
    subsequently in the same district. Of this purchase by Abraham
    there is no direct record in the Old Testament. (See TOMB.)
