And Abram gathered his tents and set out, and he settled by the terebinth trees of Mamre (large trees – Hebr. elon) which are by (in) Hebron, and there he built an altar to the Lord (Yahweh). [The Hebrew text has several verbs in quick succession, indicating rapid movement and showing Abram's immediate action and conviction that the promise will be fulfilled quickly! Hebron (Hebr. Chevrón) is located 30 km south of Jerusalem and is the junction of the road from the east (with cities such as Lachish) and the south (the Negev area). The exact location of Mamre is not given, but it is an oak grove in or near Hebron (there is also a cave nearby, see Gen. 25:9). The mention of a field (Gen. 23:17; 23:19) suggests that it may have been just outside Hebron.]
But one who had managed to escape came and told Abram, the Hebrew. He lived in the terebinth grove of Mamre the Amorite. Mamre was the brother of Eshkol and Aner, and they were in league with Abram.
I will keep nothing except what the young men (teenagers – Hebr. naar) have eaten. As for the men (Hebr. enósh) who went with me – Aner, Eshkol, and Mamre – let them take their share."
The Lord (Yahweh) appeared [again] to Abraham at the great trees (oaks or terebinths) in Mamre [just outside Hebron, thirty miles south of Jerusalem]. Abraham sat at the entrance (door) of the tent during the hottest part of the day [in the afternoon, between two and five o'clock].
The field of Ephron, which is in Machpela, which is before Mamre, the field and the cave that is there, and all the trees that are in the field, that were within its borders all around, were established
Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, buried him in the cave in Machpela in the field that lies before Mamre, which (formerly) belonged to Ephron, the son of Zohar, the Hittite,
in the cave in the field of Machpelah, in front of Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite as a property and burial place.
His sons carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave in the field of Machpelah, which Abraham had bought with the field as a property and burial place from the Hittite Ephron, in front of Mamre.
