Genesis 33:19

19. Bought a parcel of a field Rather, the portion of the field . Abraham’s only purchase of land was a place to bury his dead; Jacob now probably found the land more thickly settled, and found it necessary to buy land in order to dwell in peace. On this same land he dug the famous well at which the Saviour taught the Samaritan woman. John 4:5-6; John 4:12.

Hundred pieces of money Hebrews, a hundred kesitah. The Sept. and Vulg. render a hundred lambs, a sense, says Gesenius, “which has no support either from etymology or in the kindred dialects, nor is it in accordance with patriarchal usages.” The word means some sort of money, in precious metal, weighed out, as Abraham weighed out the silver for Machpelah, (xxiii, 16,) but the exact value of a hundred kesitah cannot now be ascertained.
