Postanak 23

Studie

   

1 A požive Sara sto i dvadeset i sedam godina; to su godine veka Sarinog;

2 I umre Sara u Kirijat-Arvi, a to je Hevron, u zemlji hananskoj. I dođe Avram da ožali Saru i oplače.

3 A kad usta Avram od mrtvaca svog, reče sinovima Hetovim govoreći:

4 Stranac sam i došljak kod vas; dajte mi da imam grob kod vas da pogrebem mrtvaca svog ispred očiju svojih.

5 A sinovi Hetovi odgovoriše Avramu govoreći mu:

6 Čuj nas, gospodaru; ti si knez od Boga među nama; u najboljem grobu našem pogrebi mrtvaca svog; niko između nas neće ti zatvoriti grob svoj da ne pogrebeš mrtvaca svog.

7 Tada usta Avram i pokloni se narodu zemlje one, sinovima Hetovim;

8 I reče im govoreći: Ako hoćete da pogrebem mrtvaca svog ispred očiju svojih, poslušajte me, i govorite za mene Efronu sinu Sarovom,

9 Neka mi da pećinu u Makpeli, koja je nakraj njive njegove; za novce neka mi je da među vama koliko vredi, da imam grob.

10 A Efron seđaše usred sinova Hetovih. Pa reče Efron Hetejin Avramu pred sinovima Hetovim, koji slušahu, pred svim koji ulažahu na vrata grada njegovog, govoreći:

11 Ne, gospodaru; čuj me: poklanjam ti njivu, i pećinu kod nje poklanjam ti: pred sinovima naroda svog poklanjam ti je, pogrebi mrtvaca svog.

12 A Avram se pokloni narodu zemlje one,

13 I reče Efronu pred narodom zemlje one govoreći: Ako si voljan čuj me; da ti dam šta vredi njiva, uzmi od mene, pa ću onda pogrepsti mrtvaca svog onde.

14 A Efron odgovori Avramu govoreći mu:

15 Gospodaru, čuj me; zemlja vredi četiri stotine sikala srebra između mene i tebe; šta je to? Samo ti pogrebi mrtvaca svog.

16 A Avram čuvši Efrona izmeri mu srebro, koje reče pred sinovima Hetovim, četiri stotine sikala srebra, kako su išli među trgovcima.

17 I njiva Efronova u Makpeli prema Mamriji, njiva s pećinom koja je na njoj, i sva drveta na njivi i po međi njenoj unaokolo,

18 Posta Avramova pred sinovima Hetovim, pred svima koji ulaze na vrata grada onog.

19 Potom pogrebe Avram Saru ženu svoju u pećini na njivi Makpeli prema Mamriji, a to je Hevron, u zemlji hananskoj.

20 I potvrdiše sinovi Hetovi njivu i pećinu na njoj Avramu da ima grob.

2955. 'I will bury my dead' means that they would emerge from night and be made alive. This is clear from the meaning of 'burying' and of 'one who is dead', dealt with above in 2917, 2923, 2925, 2931, 2948. They are spoken of here as being made alive because they are on their way to receiving faith; for it is from faith, that is to say, from the good that is the fruit of it, that they receive life. That life has no other source. A further reason why 'I will bury my dead' means emerging from spiritual night and being made alive is that once the previous Church has died, a new one is established by the Lord to take its place, and so life is imparted to take the place of death, and morning to take the place of night. And there is the further reason still that with everyone who is being reformed and becoming spiritual, that which has died in him is so to speak buried, and that which is new and made alive rises up, so that instead of the night with him, that is, instead of darkness and cold, morning breaks, bringing its light and warmth. This explains why with angels, who have the Lord's life in them, in place of men's idea of burial of the dead there is the idea of resurrection and of new life. This is indeed so, for some Church always exists on earth, and when the old Church breathes its last and night has fallen, a new one rises up somewhere else, and morning breaks.
