Genezo 23

Studie

   

1 Kaj la vivo de Sara estis cent dudek sep jaroj; tiom estis la jaroj de la vivo de Sara.

2 Kaj Sara mortis en Kirjat-Arba, kiu estas HXebron, en la lando Kanaana. Kaj Abraham venis, por funebri pri Sara kaj plori pri sxi.

3 Kaj Abraham levigxis for de sia mortintino, kaj diris al la filoj de HXet jene:

4 Fremdulo kaj paslogxanto mi estas cxe vi; donu al mi posedotan lokon por tombo inter vi, por ke mi enterigu mian mortintinon, kiu estas antaux mi.

5 Kaj la filoj de HXet respondis al Abraham, dirante al li:

6 Auxskultu nin, nia sinjoro! vi estas princo de Dio inter ni; en la plej elektitaj niaj tomboj enterigu vian mortintinon; neniu el ni rifuzos al vi sian tomblokon, por enterigi vian mortintinon.

7 Kaj Abraham levigxis, kaj profunde klinigxis antaux la popolo de la lando, antaux la filoj de HXet.

8 Kaj li diris al ili jene: Se placxas al vi, ke mi enterigu mian mortintinon, kiu estas antaux mi, tiam auxskultu min kaj petu por mi Efronon, la filon de Cohxar,

9 ke li donu al mi la duoblan kavernon, kiun li havas en la fino de sia kampo; por plena sumo da mono li donu gxin al mi inter vi por tomba posedajxo.

10 Kaj Efron sidis inter la filoj de HXet, kaj respondis Efron la HXetido al Abraham auxdeble por la filoj de HXet, antaux cxiuj, kiuj venis en la pordegon de lia urbo, dirante:

11 Ne, mia sinjoro, auxskultu min! la kampon mi donas al vi, kaj la kavernon, kiu estas sur gxi, al vi mi donas, antaux la okuloj de la filoj de mia popolo mi donas gxin al vi; enterigu vian mortintinon.

12 Kaj Abraham profunde klinigxis antaux la popolo de la lando.

13 Kaj li diris al Efron auxdeble por la popolo de la lando jene: Mi petas, auxskultu min: mi donas monon por la kampo; prenu de mi, kaj mi enterigos tie mian mortintinon.

14 Kaj Efron respondis al Abraham, dirante al li:

15 Mia sinjoro, auxskultu min: la tero valoras kvarcent siklojn; sed kio gxi estas inter mi kaj vi? enterigu vian mortintinon.

16 Kaj Abraham auxskultis Efronon, kaj Abraham pesis al Efron la monon, pri kiu li parolis auxdeble por la filoj de HXet, kvarcent siklojn da argxento, uzata en la komerco.

17 Kaj la kampo de Efron kun la duobla kaverno, kiu estis antaux Mamre, la kampo kaj la kaverno sur gxi kaj cxiuj arboj sur la kampo, inter cxiuj gxiaj limoj cxirkauxe, farigxis

18 posedajxo de Abraham antaux la okuloj de la filoj de HXet, de cxiuj, kiuj venis en la pordegon de lia urbo.

19 Kaj post tio Abraham enterigis sian edzinon Sara en la duobla kaverno de la kampo, antaux Mamre, kiu estas HXebron, en la lando Kanaana.

20 Kaj la kampo kaj la kaverno sur gxi farigxis tomba posedajxo de Abraham, kiun li akiris de la filoj de HXet.

2919. The sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him. That this signifies a reciprocal state with those who are of the new church, is evident from the signification of “answering,” when assent is given to that which is asked, as being what is reciprocal; and from the signification of the “sons of Heth,” as being those with whom there is to be a new spiritual church (of which above, n. 2913).

2913. And spoke unto the sons of Heth, saying. That this signifies those with whom there was to be a new spiritual church, is evident from the signification of “Heth,” and of the “Hittites.” There were many inhabitants of the land of Canaan, who are enumerated in various places in the Word, and among them the Hittites (see Genesis 15:20; Exodus 3:8, 17; 13:5; 23:23 Deuteronomy 7:1; 20:17; Josh. 3:10; 11:1, 3; 12:8; 24:11; 1 Kings 9:20; and other places). Most of these were from the Ancient Church (that this extended through many lands, and likewise through the land of Canaan, may be seen above, n. 1238, 2385). All who were of that church acknowledged charity as the principal, and all their doctrinal things were of charity or of life. Those who elaborated doctrinal things of faith were called “Canaanites,” and were separated from the other inhabitants of the land of Canaan (Numbers 13:29; see n. 1062-1063, 1076).

[2] Among the better inhabitants of the land of Canaan were the Hittites, as is evident from the fact that Abraham dwelt among them, and afterwards Isaac and Jacob, and had their burial place there; also from their bearing themselves piously and modestly toward Abraham, as is very plain from what is related of them in this chapter (particularly in verses 5-6, 10-11, 14-15). And thus by the Hittites, as by a well-disposed nation, is represented and signified the spiritual church, or the truth of the church. But with these, as with the rest of the Ancient church, it came to pass that in course of time they declined from charity or the good of faith; and consequently the falsity of the church is afterwards signified by them (as in Ezekiel 16:3, 45, and other places). That still the Hittites were among the more honored, is evident from the fact that there were Hittites with David, as Abimelech (1 Samuel 26:6), and Uriah, who was a Hittite (2 Samuel 11:3, 6, 17, 21), whose wife was Bathsheba, of whom Solomon was born to David (2 Samuel 12:24). (That “Heth” signifies the more external knowledges regarding life, which are the external truths of the spiritual church, may be seen above, n. 1203)

[3] This verse treats of the new church that the Lord sets up anew when the former church expires; and the verses that follow treat of the reception of faith with them. A church among the sons of Heth is not treated of; but the raising up by the Lord of the spiritual church in general, after the former ceases or is consummated; the sons of Heth are merely those who represent and signify this. See what has been said above concerning churches, namely: That in process of time a church decreases and is contaminated (n. 494, 501, 1327, 2422): That it recedes from charity, and produces evils and falsities (n. 1834, 1835): That then the church is said to be laid waste and desolate (n. 407-411, 2243): That a church is set up anew with the Gentiles, and why (n. 1366). That in the church which is being vastated, there is always preserved something of the church as a nucleus (n. 468, 637, 931, 2422): That unless there were a church on earth, the human race would perish (n. 468, 637, 931, 2422): That the church is as the heart and lungs in the grand body, that is, in the human race (n. 637, 931, 2054, 2853): The quality of the spiritual church (n. 765, 2669): That charity constitutes the church, not faith separate (n. 809, 916): That if all had charity, the church would be one, although they should differ as to doctrinal things and worship (n. 1285, 1316, 1798, 1799, 1834, 1844, 2385): That all men on earth who are in the Lord’s church, though scattered through the world, still as it were make a one, as in the heavens (n. 2853): That every church is internal and external, and both together constitute one church (n. 409, 1083, 1098, 1100, 1242): That the external church is nothing, if there is no internal church (n. 1795): That the church is compared to the rising and the setting of the sun, also to the seasons of the year, and the times of the day (n. 1837): That the Last Judgment is the last time of the church (n. 900, 931, 1850, 2117, 2118).
