1 OR la vita di Sara fu di cenventisette anni. Questi furono gli anni della vita di Sara.

2 E Sara morì in Chiriat-Arba, ch’è Hebron, nel paese di Canaan, ed Abrahamo entrò, per far duolo di Sara, e per piangerla.

3 Poi Abrahamo si levò d’appresso al suo morto, e parlò a’ figliuoli di Het, dicendo:

4 Io sono straniere ed avveniticcio appresso di voi; datemi la possessione di una sepoltura appo voi; acciocchè io seppellisca il mio morto, e mel levi d’innanzi.

5 E i figliuoli di Het risposero ad Abrahamo, dicendogli:

6 Signor mio, ascoltaci: Tu sei per mezzo noi un principe divino; seppellisci il tuo morto nella più scelta delle nostre sepolture; niuno di noi ti rifiuterà la sua sepoltura, che tu non vi seppellisca il tuo morto.

7 Ed Abrahamo si levò, e s’inchinò al popolo del paese, a’ figliuoli di Het; e parlò con loro, dicendo:

8 Se voi avete nell’animo che io seppellisca il mio morto, e mel levi d’innanzi, ascoltatemi: Intercedete per me appo Efron, figliuolo di Sohar;

9 che mi dia la spelonca di Macpela, che è sua, la quale è nell’estremità del suo campo; che me la dia per lo suo prezzo intiero, per possession di sepoltura fra voi.

10 Or Efron sedeva per mezzo i figliuoli di Het. Ed Efron Hitteo rispose ad Abrahamo, in presenza de’ figliuoli di Het, di tutti coloro ch’entravano nella porta della sua città, dicendo:

11 No, signor mio; ascoltami: Io ti dono il campo; ti dono ancora la spelonca ch’è in esso; io te ne fo un dono, in presenza de’ figliuoli del mio popolo; seppelliscivi il tuo morto.

12 Ed Abrahamo s’inchinò al popolo del paese;

13 e parlò ad Efron, in presenza del popolo del paese, dicendo: Anzi se così ti piace, ascoltami, ti prego: Io darò i danari del campo; prendili da me, ed io vi seppellirò il mio morto.

14 Ed Efron rispose ad Abrahamo, dicendogli:

15 Signor mio, ascoltami: Fra me e te che cosa è una terra di quattrocento sicli d’argento? seppelliscivi pure il tuo morto.

16 Ed Abrahamo acconsentì ad Efron, e gli pagò i danari ch’egli gli avea detto, in presenza de’ figliuoli di Het; cioè quattrocento sicli d’argento, correnti fra’ mercatanti.

17 Così l’acquisto del campo di Efron, il quale è in Macpela, ch’è dirimpetto a Mamre, insieme con la spelonca che è in esso, e con tutti gli alberi ch’erano in esso campo, in tutti i suoi confini attorno attorno,

18 fu fermato ad Abrahamo, in presenza de’ figliuoli di Het, fra tutti coloro ch’entravano nella porta della città di esso.

19 E dopo ciò, Abrahamo seppellì Sara, sua moglie, nella spelonca del campo di Macpela, ch’è dirimpetto a Mamre, ch’è Hebron, nel paese di Canaan.

20 Così l’acquisto di quel campo, e della spelonca ch’è in esso, fu fermato ad Abrahamo, per possession di sepoltura, dai figliuoli di Het.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

2984. The field and the cave that is therein. That this signifies the church and its faith, is evident from the signification of a “field,” as being the church (see above, n. 2969, 2971); and from the signification of a “cave,” as being faith (see n. 2935, 2971). It is said “the church and its faith,” because the church is so called from the good of charity and thus of life; and its faith is so called from the truth that is adjoined to that good.

Genesis 23

Lernen

   

1 Sarah lived one hundred twenty-seven years. This was the length of Sarah's life.

2 Sarah died in Kiriath Arba (the same is Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.

3 Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the children of Heth, saying,

4 "I am a stranger and a foreigner living with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight."

5 The children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,

6 "Hear us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the best of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb. Bury your dead."

7 Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.

8 He talked with them, saying, "If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,

9 that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which is in the end of his field. For the full price let him give it to me among you for a possession of a burying-place."

10 Now Ephron was sitting in the middle of the children of Heth. Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the children of Heth, even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,

11 "No, my lord, hear me. I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the presence of the children of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead."

12 Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.

13 He spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, "But if you will, please hear me. I will give the price of the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there."

14 Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,

15 "My lord, listen to me. What is a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver between me and you? Therefore bury your dead."

16 Abraham listened to Ephron. Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the audience of the children of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the current merchants' standard.

17 So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all of its borders, were deeded

18 to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.

19 After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan.

20 The field, and the cave that is in it, were deeded to Abraham for a possession of a burying place by the children of Heth.
