Machpelah
Machpelah, also known as the Cave of the Patriarchs or the Tomb of the Patriarchs, is a sacred site located in the West Bank city of Hebron. According to religious tradition, it is the burial place of several key biblical figures, including Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob, and Leah. The name "Machpelah" itself is believed to derive from a Hebrew word meaning "double" or "cancellation," possibly referring to a double cave or a place where sins were canceled.
The site has been a significant pilgrimage destination for Jews, Christians, and Muslims for centuries. The
