From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Machpelah       portion; double cave, the cave which Abraham bought, together       with the field in which it stood, from Ephron the Hittite, for a       family burying-place (Gen. 23). It is one of those Bible       localities about the identification of which there can be no       doubt. It was on the slope of a hill on the east of Hebron,       "before Mamre." Here were laid the bodies of Abraham and Sarah,       Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob and Leah (Gen. 23:19; 25:9; 49:31;       50:13). Over the cave an ancient Christian church was erected,       probably in the time of Justinian, the Roman emperor. This       church has been converted into a Mohammedan mosque. The whole is       surrounded by the el-Haram i.e., "the sacred enclosure," about       200 feet long, 115 broad, and of an average height of about 50.       This building, from the immense size of some of its stones, and       the manner in which they are fitted together, is supposed by       some to have been erected in the days of David or of Solomon,       while others ascribe it to the time of Herod. It is looked upon       as the most ancient and finest relic of Jewish architecture.                On the floor of the mosque are erected six large cenotaphs as       monuments to the dead who are buried in the cave beneath.       Between the cenotaphs of Isaac and Rebekah there is a circular       opening in the floor into the cavern below, the cave of       Machpelah. Here it may be that the body of Jacob, which was       embalmed in Egypt, is still preserved (much older embalmed       bodies have recently been found in the cave of Deir el-Bahari in       Egypt, see {PHARAOH}), though those of the others there       buried may have long ago mouldered into dust. The interior of       the mosque was visited by the Prince of Wales in 1862 by a       special favour of the Mohammedan authorities. An interesting       account of this visit is given in Dean Stanley's Lectures on the       Jewish Church. It was also visited in 1866 by the Marquis of       Bute, and in 1869 by the late Emperor (Frederick) of Germany,       then the Crown Prince of Prussia. In 1881 it was visited by the       two sons of the Prince of Wales, accompanied by Sir C. Wilson       and others. (See Palestine Quarterly Statement, October 1882).
