2907. Verse 2. And Sarah died in Kiriath-arba, the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan; and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her. “Sarah died,” signifies night as to the truths of faith; “in Kiriath-arba, the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan,” signifies in the church; “and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her,” signifies the Lord’s state of grief.
