Jacob is referring to where his inner man will go when he dies. He expects to join [Abraham](rc://en/tw/dict/bible/names/abraham) and Isaac in the afterlife. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-euphemism]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])

This is the name of a man. "[Hittite](rc://en/tw/dict/bible/names/hittite)" means "descendent of Heth." See how you translated this in [Genesis 23:8](../23/07.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])
