1 Mosebok 23

Estude

   

1 Saras alder blev hundre og syv og tyve år; det var Saras leveår.

2 Og Sara døde i Kirjat-Arba, det er Hebron, i Kana'ans land; og Abraham kom for å holde sørgehøitid og gråte over Sara.

3 Derefter stod Abraham op og gikk bort fra sin døde hustru, og han talte til Hets barn og sa:

4 Jeg er en fremmed og utlending hos eder; la mig få et gravsted til eiendom hos eder, så jeg kan føre min døde hustru bort og begrave henne!

5 Da svarte Hets barn Abraham og sa til ham:

6 Høross, herre! Du er en Guds høvding iblandt oss; begrav din døde i den beste av våre graver! Ingen av oss skal nekte dig sin grav til å begrave henne i.

7 Da stod Abraham op og bøide sig for landets folk, for Hets barn,

8 og han talte med dem og sa: Dersom I samtykker i at jeg fører min døde bort og begraver henne, så hør på mig og legg et godt ord inn for mig hos Efron, Sohars sønn,

9 at han lar mig få Makpela-hulen, som tilhører ham og ligger i utkanten av hans mark. Han skal få full betaling for den hvis han vil selge mig den, her midt iblandt eder, til eiendoms-gravsted.

10 Men Efron satt midt iblandt Hets barn; og Efron, hetitten, svarte AbrahamHets barn hørte på det, alle de som hørte hjemme i hans by, og sa:

11 Nei, herre! Hør på mig: Jeg gir dig marken, og hulen som er på den, gir jeg dig også; for mine landsmenns øine gir jeg dig den: begrav din døde der!

12 Da bøide Abraham sig for landets folk,

13 og han talte til Efron så landets folk hørte på det, og sa: Bare du nu vilde høre på mig! Jeg betaler dig det marken er verd; ta imot det av mig og la mig få begrave min døde der!

14 Da svarte Efron Abraham og sa til ham:

15 Herre, hør på mig! Et jordstykke som er verd fire hundre sekel sølv, hvad har det å si mellem mig og dig? Begrav du din døde!

16 Og Abraham skjønte hvad Efron mente, og Abraham veide op til Efron det sølv som han hadde talt om i påhør av Hets barn, fire hundre sekel sølv, slike som var gangbare i handel.

17 Og Efrons mark i Makpela, som ligger østenfor Mamre, både marken og hulen som er på den, og alle trærne som fantes på marken, så langt den rakk rundt omkring, blev tilskjøtet

18 Abraham som eiendom, så Hets barn så på det, alle de som hørte hjemme i hans by.

19 Derefter begravde Abraham Sara, sin hustru, i hulen på Makpelamarken østenfor Mamre, det er Hebron, i Kana'ans land.

20 Og marken og hulen på den gikk fra Hets barn over til Abraham som eiendoms-gravsted.

3061. 'O Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham' means of the Divine itself, which is the Father, with the Divine Human, which is the Son, that is to say, communication of these. This is clear from what has been stated and shown several times above, namely the following:

'Jehovah God' is the Lord's Divine itself, which is called the Father, while 'Abraham' represents His Divine Human, 2833, 2836.

Jehovah in the Old Testament Word is the Lord Himself, see 1736, 1815, 2921.

The Most Ancient Church before the Flood, and the Ancient Church after the Flood, meant by 'Jehovah' none other than the Lord, 1343, 1676, 1990, 2016, 3035.

Within the Lord exists the Trinity of the Divine itself, the Divine Human, and the Divine Holy proceeding, and these are one, 1999, 2149, 2156, 2288, 2329, 2447.

The entire Trinity within the Lord is Jehovah, 2156, 2329; and every single thing in the Lord is Jehovah, 1902, 1921.

The Lord is one with the Father, and no other is meant in heaven by the Father, 14, 15, 1725, 1729, 1733, 1815, 2005, 2018, 2025, 2803, 3038.

The Lord constitutes the whole of heaven since He is its All; from Him comes the whole of innocence, peace, love, charity, mercy, and conjugial love, as do all Good and Truth; Moses and the Prophets, and so the Word in every detail, have reference to Him; and all the religious observances of the Church were representative of Him, 2751.

As to the Divine Human the Lord is called the Son, 2628.

The Lord's Divine Human was not only conceived but also born from His Divine Essence, which is Jehovah, 2798.

Thus as to the Human the Lord became Jehovah, and Life from Himself, 1603, 1737

[2] The Lord has existed from eternity, as is quite clear from the Word, see 2803, even though He was born at a particular point in time. For He it was who spoke through Moses and the Prophets (having also appeared to many) in whose writings it is said that He was Jehovah. But this very deep arcanum cannot be revealed to anyone except to those who possess Divine perception, and so to scarcely any apart from members of the Most Ancient Church, who were celestial and possessed such perception. From these people I have heard that Jehovah Himself was the Lord as regards the Divine Human whenever He came down into heaven or flowed in by way of heaven, for heaven resembles one human being as to all its members, and for that reason is also called the Grand Man, 684, 1276, 2996, 2998, 3021. The Divine itself within heaven or the Grand Man was the Divine Human, and was Jehovah Himself clothed in that manner with the Human.

[3] But when the human race had become such that the Divine itself clothed as the Divine Human could no longer exert any influence on it, that is, when Jehovah could no longer reach down to mankind in that way because it had moved so far away, Jehovah, who is the Lord as regards the Divine Essence, came down and took upon Himself the Human, which was by conception Divine, but by birth from the virgin was like that of any other human being. But what He received from the virgin He cast out, and by Divine means made Divine the Human that had been born. From this Human made Divine proceeds all that is holy. Thus the Divine Human has come into being as an Essence by itself which fills the whole of heaven and causes those to be saved who previously could not be saved. This now is the Lord, who alone as to the Divine Human is Man, and from whom everyone has it to be [truly] human, 49, 288, 477, 565, 1894.

2628. 'Abraham called the name of his son born to him' means the nature of the Rational was such that it was Divine. This is clear from the representation of 'Abraham' as the Lord as regards the Divine celestial or Divine Good, dealt with many times already; from the meaning of 'calling the name' as the essential nature, dealt with in 144, 145, 1754, 1896, 2009; and from the meaning of 'a son' as the rational, dealt with in 2623, as well as from the meaning of 'born to him' as being manifested from the Divine. From this it is evident that 'Abraham called the name of his son born to him' means that the nature of the Rational was such that it was Divine. From these few words the following three arcana shine through to those who possess the internal sense. The first is that the Lord's Divine Human was a manifestation from the Divine itself, an arcanum which is explained further in this verse; the second is that the Lord's Divine Human was not only conceived but also born from Jehovah, and therefore the Lord as regards the Divine Human is called the Son of God and the Only Begotten, John 1:14, 18, 49; 3:16, 18, 35-36; 5:19-27; 6:69; 9:35; 10:36; 11:27; 14:13-14; 17:1; 20:31; and similarly in the other Evangelists; and the third arcanum is that the Lord's Divine Human is meant by the name of Jehovah, that is, His nature, see John 12:28.
