Midrash su Genesi 49:31
שָׁ֣מָּה קָֽבְר֞וּ אֶת־אַבְרָהָ֗ם וְאֵת֙ שָׂרָ֣ה אִשְׁתּ֔וֹ שָׁ֚מָּה קָבְר֣וּ אֶת־יִצְחָ֔ק וְאֵ֖ת רִבְקָ֣ה אִשְׁתּ֑וֹ וְשָׁ֥מָּה קָבַ֖רְתִּי אֶת־לֵאָֽה׃
Ivi seppellirono Abramo, e Sara sua moglie; ivi hanno seppellito Isacco e Rebecca sua moglie; ed ivi ho sepolto Leà.
Sifra
8) This tells me only of the patriarchs. Whence do I derive (the same for) the matriarchs? From (the triple) eth, eth, eth, "eth" signifying the matriarchs, viz. (Bereshith 49:31), "There they buried Avraham and ('ve'eth') Sarah his wife." And whence is it derived that a covenant has been made with the land? From "and the land will I remember" (as I remember the covenant with the patriarchs.)
