¹ 撒拉享寿一百二十七岁，这是撒拉一生的岁数。

² 撒拉死在迦南地的基列亚巴，就是希伯仑。亚伯拉罕为他哀恸哭号。

³ 後来亚伯拉罕从死人面前起来，对赫人说：

⁴ 我在你们中间是外人，是寄居的。求你们在这里给我一块地，我好埋葬我的死人，使他不在我眼前。

⁵ 赫人回答亚伯拉罕说：

⁶ 我主请听。你在我们中间是一位尊大的王子，只管在我们最好的坟地里埋葬你的死人；我们没有一人不容你在他的坟地里埋葬你的死人。

⁷ 亚伯拉罕就起来，向那地的赫人下拜，

⁸ 对他们说：你们若有意叫我埋葬我的死人，使他不在我眼前，就请听我的话，为我求琐辖的儿子以弗仑，

⁹ 把田头上那麦比拉洞给我；他可以按着足价卖给我，作我在你们中间的坟地。

¹⁰ 当时以弗仑正坐在赫人中间。於是，赫人以弗仑在城门出入的赫人面前对亚伯拉罕说：

¹¹ 不然，我主请听。我送给你这块田，连田间的洞也送给你，在我同族的人面前都给你，可以埋葬你的死人。

¹² 亚伯拉罕就在那地的人民面前下拜，

¹³ 在他们面前对以弗仑说：你若应允，请听我的话。我要把田价给你，求你收下，我就在那里埋葬我的死人。

¹⁴ 以弗仑回答亚伯拉罕说：

¹⁵ 我主请听。值四百舍客勒银子的一块田，在你我中间还算甚麽呢？只管埋葬你的死人罢！

¹⁶ 亚伯拉罕听从了以弗仑，照着他在赫人面前所说的话，把买卖通用的银子平了四百舍客勒给以弗仑。

¹⁷ 於是，麦比拉、幔利前、以弗仑的那块田和其中的洞，并田间四围的树木，

¹⁸ 都定准归与亚伯拉罕，乃是他在赫人面前并城门出入的人面前买妥的。

¹⁹ 此後，亚伯拉罕把他妻子撒拉埋葬在迦南地幔利前的麦比拉田间的洞里。〈幔利就是希伯仑〉。

²⁰ 从此，那块田和田间的洞就藉着赫人定准归与亚伯拉罕作坟地。

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.
