To get from this world to Gan Eden, you have to travel north, says the Chasam Sofer. So, says the Chasam Sofer, even though it's very difficult to get from the living to the dead in Gan Eden, because of the mazikim, do you know what Hashem did? He made tunnels from the Machpelah in Chevron until Gan Eden. Meaning, the way the tzaddikim get from this world is they travel through the underground tunnels leading from the Machpelah until they get to Gan Eden, and this way they bypass and they circumvent through this circuitous underground tunnels until they get to Gan Eden. Adam and Chava appreciated the greatness of the Machpelah, and therefore they wanted to be buried there. And once they were buried there, the opening of the Machpelah was sealed shut.
