創世記 23

Studie

   

1 撒拉享壽一二十歲,這是撒拉一生的歲數。

2 撒拉迦南的基列亞巴,就是希伯崙。亞伯拉罕為他哀慟哭號。

3 後來亞伯拉罕人面前起來,對赫人

4 我在你們中間是外人,是寄居的。求你們在這裡我一塊地,我好埋葬我的人,使他不在我眼前。

5 赫人回答亞伯拉罕

6 。你在我們中間是一位尊大的王子,只管在我們最好的墳地裡埋葬你的我們沒有一不容你在他的墳地裡埋葬你的

7 亞伯拉罕起來,向那的赫人下拜,

8 對他們:你們若有意叫我埋葬我的人,使他不在我眼前,就請我的話,為我求瑣轄的兒子以弗崙

9 把田頭上那麥比拉洞我;他可以按著足價賣我,作我在你們中間的墳地。

10 當時以弗崙在赫人中間。於是,赫人以弗崙在城出入的赫人面前對亞伯拉罕說:

11 不然,我。我送你這塊田,連田間的洞也送你,在我同族的人面前都你,可以埋葬你的人。

12 亞伯拉罕就在那的人民面前下拜,

13 在他們面前對以弗崙:你若應允,請我的話。我要把田價你,求你收下,我就在那裡埋葬我的人。

14 以弗崙回答亞伯拉罕

15 。值舍客勒子的一塊田,在你我中間還算甚麼呢?只管埋葬你的人罷!

16 亞伯拉罕從了以弗崙,照著他在赫人面前所說的話,把買賣通用的子平了舍客勒以弗崙

17 於是,麥比拉、幔利前、以弗崙的那塊田和其中的洞,並田間四圍的樹木

18 都定準歸與亞伯拉罕,乃是他在赫人面前並城出入的人面前買妥的。

19 亞伯拉罕把他妻子撒拉埋葬在迦南幔利前的麥比拉田間的洞裡。〈幔利就是希伯崙〉。

20 從此,那塊田和田間的洞就藉著赫人定準歸與亞伯拉罕作墳地。

6551. Upon the faces of Mamre. That this signifies the quality and the quantity, is evident from the signification of “Mamre,” as being the quality and quantity of that to which it is joined (see n. 2970, 2980, 4613, 6456). That something special is signified by Abraham’s having bought the cave of the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, from Ephron the Hittite, is evident from its being said so many times, as in previous chapters:

The field of Ephron which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, was made sure (Genesis 23:17).

After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah upon the faces of Mamre. And the field and the cave that is therein were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a sepulcher from the sons of Heth (Genesis 23:19-20).

They buried Abraham in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is upon the faces of Mamre; the field which Abraham bought from the sons of Heth (Genesis 25:9-10).

Bury me in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is upon the faces of Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite, for a possession of a sepulcher. The purchase of the field, and of the cave that is therein, was from the sons of Heth (Genesis 49:30-32).

And in this chapter:

They buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a sepulcher, from Ephron the Hittite, upon the faces of Mamre (Genesis 50:13).

The special thing which is signified by this frequent repetition in nearly the same words, is that by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is represented the Lord; by their burial is represented resurrection and resuscitation; by the cave of the field of Machpelah, the beginning of regeneration; by Ephron the Hittite, those who receive the good of faith and suffer themselves to be regenerated; and by the sons of Heth, the spiritual church. And it is because all these things combined signify the setting up again of a spiritual church that they are so many times repeated.
