1 Mose 23

Studie

   

1 Und das Leben Saras war 127 Jahre; das waren die Lebensjahre Saras.

2 Und Sara starb zu Kirjath-Arba, das ist Hebron, im Lande Kanaan. Und Abraham kam, um über Sara zu klagen und sie zu beweinen.

3 Und Abraham erhob sich weg von seiner Toten und redete zu den Kindern Heth und sprach:

4 Ich bin ein Fremdling und Beisasse bei euch; gebet mir ein Erbbegräbnis (Eig. ein Grabeigentum) bei euch, daß ich meine Tote begrabe vor meinem Angesicht hinweg.

5 Und die Kinder Heth antworteten dem Abraham und sprachen zu ihm:

6 Höre uns, mein Herr! Du bist ein Fürst Gottes unter uns, begrabe deine Tote in dem auserlesensten unserer Gräber; keiner von uns wird dir sein Grab verwehren, um deine Tote zu begraben.

7 Da stand Abraham auf und verneigte sich vor dem Volke des Landes, vor den Kindern Heth,

8 und redete mit ihnen und sprach: Wenn es euer Wille ist, daß ich meine Tote begrabe vor meinem Angesicht hinweg, so höret mich und leget Fürsprache für mich ein bei Ephron, dem Sohne Zohars,

9 daß er mir die Höhle von Machpela gebe, die ihm gehört, die am Ende seines Feldes ist; um das volle Geld gebe er sie mir zu einem Erbbegräbnis in eurer Mitte.

10 Ephron aber saß (O. wohnte) inmitten der Kinder Heth; und Ephron, der Hethiter, antwortete dem Abraham vor den Ohren der Kinder Heth, vor allen, die zum Tore seiner Stadt eingingen, und sprach:

11 Nein, mein Herr, höre mich! Das Feld gebe ich dir; und die Höhle, die darin ist, dir gebe ich sie; vor den Augen der Kinder meines Volkes gebe ich sie dir; begrabe deine Tote.

12 Da verneigte sich Abraham vor dem Volke des Landes;

13 und er redete zu Ephron vor den Ohren des Volkes des Landes und sprach: Doch, wenn du nur auf mich hören wolltest! Ich gebe den Preis (W. das Geld) des Feldes, nimm ihn von mir; und ich will meine Tote daselbst begraben.

14 Und Ephron antwortete dem Abraham und sprach zu ihm:

15 Mein Herr, höre mich! Ein Land von vierhundert Sekel Silber, was ist das zwischen mir und dir? So begrabe deine Tote.

16 Und Abraham hörte auf Ephron; und Abraham wog dem Ephron das Geld dar, wovon er vor den Ohren der Kinder Heth geredet hatte, vierhundert Sekel Silber, gangbar beim Kaufmann.

17 So wurde das Feld Ephrons, welches bei Machpela, vor (d. h. östlich von) Mamre, lag, das Feld und die Höhle, die darin war, und alle Bäume, die auf dem Felde innerhalb seiner ganzen Grenze ringsum standen,

18 dem Abraham zum Besitztum bestätigt vor den Augen der Kinder Heth, vor allen, die zum Tore seiner Stadt eingingen.

19 Und danach begrub Abraham Sara, sein Weib, in der Höhle des Feldes von Machpela, vor Mamre, das ist Hebron, im Lande Kanaan.

20 So wurde das Feld und die Höhle, welche darin war, dem Abraham zum Erbbegräbnis bestätigt von seiten der Kinder Heth.

2833. And Abraham went, and took the ram. That this signifies their liberation by the Lord’s Divine Human, is evident from the representation of Abraham, as being here the Lord as to His Divine Human (for when Jehovah, or the angel of Jehovah, speaks with Abraham, then “Jehovah,” or the “angel of Jehovah,” is the Divine Itself, and “Abraham” is the Divine Human); and also from the signification of a “ram,” as being the spiritual (n. 2830). It is hence manifest that Abraham’s going and taking the ram caught in the thicket by his horns, signifies the liberation of the spiritual by the Lord’s Divine Human. (That without the Lord’s coming into the world the spiritual could not possibly have been saved, may be seen above, n. 2661, 2716; and that they have salvation and liberation by the Lord’s Divine Human, n. 2716)

Genesis 22

Studie

   

1 It happened after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" He said, "Here I am."

2 He said, "Now take your son, your only son, whom you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of."

3 Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.

4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.

5 Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go yonder. We will worship, and come back to you."

6 Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.

7 Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am, my son." He said, "Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"

8 Abraham said, "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they both went together.

9 They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.

10 Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.

11 The angel of Yahweh called to him out of the sky, and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" He said, "Here I am."

12 He said, "Don't lay your hand on the boy, neither do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me."

13 Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

14 Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh Will Provide. As it is said to this day, "On Yahweh's mountain, it will be provided."

15 The angel of Yahweh called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,

16 and said, "I have sworn by myself, says Yahweh, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,

17 that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your seed greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your seed will possess the gate of his enemies.

18 In your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."

19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.

20 It happened after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, "Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:

21 Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,

22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel."

23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

24 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
