Genesis 23:20: Acquiring h s first spot of ground
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Acquiring h s first spot of ground,
A burying-place the patriarch found:
May I, like him, a stranger rove,
Heir of the promised land above;
The settlement on earth I crave,
The sole possession is — a grave!
