1 Kaj Abram supreniris el Egiptujo, li kaj lia edzino, kaj cxio, kio estis kun li, kaj kun li ankaux Lot, direktante sin al sudo.

2 Kaj Abram estis tre ricxa je brutoj, argxento, kaj oro.

3 Kaj li dauxrigis sian migradon de sudo gxis Bet-El, gxis la loko, kie antauxe estis lia tendo inter Bet-El kaj Aj,

4 al la loko de la altaro, kiun li tie faris antauxe; kaj Abram tie pregxis al la Eternulo.

5 Kaj ankaux Lot, kiu iris kun Abram, havis sxafojn kaj bovojn kaj tendojn.

6 Kaj ne suficxis por ili la tero, ke ili logxu kune, cxar ilia havo estis granda kaj ili ne povis logxi kune.

7 Kaj estis malpaco inter la pasxtistoj de la brutaro de Abram kaj la pasxtistoj de la brutaro de Lot; kaj la Kanaanidoj kaj Perizidoj tiam logxis en la lando.

8 Kaj Abram diris al Lot: Ne estu malpaco inter mi kaj vi kaj inter miaj pasxtistoj kaj viaj pasxtistoj, cxar ni estas fratoj.

9 La tuta tero estas ja antaux vi; apartigxu do de mi: se vi iros maldekstren, mi iros dekstren; se vi iros dekstren, mi iros maldekstren.

10 Kaj Lot levis siajn okulojn kaj vidis, ke la tuta cxirkauxajxo de Jordan, antaux ol la Eternulo pereigis Sodomon kaj Gomoran, tuta estas akvumata kiel gxardeno de la Eternulo, kiel la lando Egipta, gxis Coar.

11 Kaj Lot elektis al si la tutan cxirkauxajxon de Jordan; kaj Lot ekiris orienten; kaj ili apartigxis unu de la alia:

12 Abram enlogxigxis en la lando Kanaana, kaj Lot enlogxigxis en la urboj de la cxirkauxajxo kaj starigis siajn tendojn gxis Sodom.

13 Kaj la logxantoj de Sodom estis malbonaj kaj tre pekaj kontraux la Eternulo.

14 Kaj la Eternulo diris al Abram, post kiam Lot apartigxis de li: Levu viajn okulojn, kaj rigardu de la loko, sur kiu vi nun estas, norden kaj suden kaj orienten kaj okcidenten;

15 cxar la tutan teron, kiun vi vidas, Mi donos al vi kaj al via idaro por eterne.

16 Kaj Mi faros vian idaron kiel polvo de la tero; se iu povos kalkuli la polvon de la tero, li kalkulos ankaux vian idaron.

17 Levigxu, trairu la landon lauxlonge kaj lauxlargxe, cxar al vi Mi gxin donos.

18 Kaj Abram forprenis sian tendon, kaj iris kaj eklogxis en la arbareto Mamre, kiu estas en HXebron; kaj li konstruis tie altaron al la Eternulo.

2970. 'Which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre' means the nature and extent of regeneration. This is clear from the meaning of 'Machpelah' as regeneration by means of the truth of faith, and from the meaning of 'Mamre' as the nature and extent of it. When the word 'cave' is combined with the name Machpelah - that is, when the expression 'the cave of Machpelah' is used - faith enveloped in obscurity is meant by it, 2935. But when Machpelah is mentioned by itself, and then followed by the phrase 'the field and the cave', regeneration is meant, for 'the field and the cave' means the good and truth of faith by means of which regeneration is accomplished. Furthermore Machpelah was a plot of land in which also there was a grave, which means regeneration, 2916. But 'Mamre', being Hebron, as stated below in verse 19, or 'in Hebron', as stated in Genesis 13:18, here means nothing else than the particular kind of a thing and the measure in which this exists. In this case the kind of regeneration and the measure of it is meant when 'Mamre' is linked with 'Machpelah'; the kind of Church and the degree to which it exists when 'Mamre' is linked with 'Hebron'; and the kind of perception and the measure of the same when 'Mamre' is linked with 'the oak-groves', as in 1616. Thus Mamre merely defines the state of the thing, for it was a place where Abraham dwelt, Genesis 13:18, and where Isaac dwelt and to which Jacob came, Genesis 35:27.

Genesis第23章

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.
