1 Sara war hundertsiebenundzwanzig Jahre alt

2 und starb in der Hauptstadt, die heißt Hebron, im Lande Kanaan. Da kam Abraham, daß er sie klagete und beweinete.

3 Danach stund er auf von seiner Leiche und redete mit den Kindern Heths und sprach:

4 Ich bin ein Fremder und Einwohner bei euch; gebet mir ein Erbbegräbnis bei euch, daß ich meinen Toten begrabe, der vor mir liegt.

5 Da antworteten Abraham die Kinder Heths und sprachen zu ihm:

6 Höre uns, lieber HERR! Du bist ein Fürst Gottes unter uns; begrabe deinen Toten in unsern ehrlichsten Gräbern; kein Mensch soll dir unter uns wehren, daß du in seinem Grabe nicht begrabest deinen Toten.

7 Da stund Abraham auf und bückte sich vor dem Volk des Landes, nämlich vor den Kindern Heths.

8 Und er redete mit ihnen und sprach: Gefällt es euch, daß ich meinen Toten, der vor mir liegt, begrabe, so höret mich und bittet für mich gegen Ephron, dem Sohn Zoars,

9 daß er mir gebe seine zwiefache Höhle, die er hat am Ende seines Ackers; er gebe mir sie um Geld, soviel sie wert ist, unter euch zum Erbbegräbnis.

10 Denn Ephron wohnete unter den Kindern Heths. Da antwortete Ephron, der Hethiter, Abraham, daß zuhöreten die Kinder Heths, vor allen, die zu seiner Stadt Tor aus und ein gingen, und sprach:

11 Nein, mein HERR, sondern höre mir zu. Ich schenke dir den Acker, und die Höhle drinnen dazu, und übergebe dir's vor den Augen der Kinder meines Volks, zu begraben deinen Toten.

12 Da bückte sich Abraham vor dem Volk des Landes

13 und redete mit Ephron, daß zuhörete das Volk des Landes, und sprach: Willst du mir ihn lassen, so bitte ich, nimm von mir das Geld für den Acker, das ich dir gebe, so will ich meinen Toten daselbst begraben.

14 Ephron antwortete Abraham und sprach zu ihm:

15 Mein HERR, höre doch mich! Das Feld ist vierhundert Sekel Silbers wert; was ist das aber zwischen mir und dir? Begrabe nur deinen Toten.

16 Abraham gehorchte Ephron und wog ihm das Geld dar, das er gesagt hatte, daß zuhöreten die Kinder Heths nämlich vierhundert Sekel Silbers, das im Kauf gang und gäbe war.

17 Also ward Ephrons Acker, darin die zwiefache Höhle ist, gegen Mamre über, Abraham zum eigenen Gut bestätiget, mit der Höhle darinnen und mit allen Bäumen auf dem Acker umher,

18 daß die Kinder Heths zusahen und alle, die zu seiner Stadt Tor aus und ein gingen.

19 Danach begrub Abraham Sara, sein Weib, in der Höhle des Ackers, die zwiefach ist, gegen Mamre über, das ist, Hebron, im Lande Kanaan.

20 Also ward bestätiget der Acker und die Höhle darinnen Abraham zum Erbbegräbnis von den Kindern Heths.

Arcana Coelestia#3026

3026. 'But go to my land and to the place of my nativity' means to the Divine celestial and spiritual things which the Lord acquired to Himself. This is clear from the meaning of 'land' as the celestial element of love, dealt with in 1413, 1607, and from the meaning of 'nativity' or 'generation' as the spiritual element of love, dealt with in 1145, 1255. Here, since the Lord is the subject, those Divine celestial and spiritual things are meant which He acquired to Himself by His own power, see 1813, 1921, 2025, 2026, 2083, 2500.

Genesis第17章

学习

   

1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, Yahweh appeared to Abram, and said to him, "I am God Almighty. Walk before me, and be blameless.

2 I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly."

3 Abram fell on his face. God talked with him, saying,

4 "As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.

5 Neither will your name any more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.

7 I will establish my covenant between me and you and your seed after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your seed after you.

8 I will give to you, and to your seed after you, the land where you are traveling, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. I will be their God."

9 God said to Abraham, "As for you, you will keep my covenant, you and your seed after you throughout their generations.

10 This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your seed after you. Every male among you shall be circumcised.

11 You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a token of the covenant between me and you.

12 He who is eight days old will be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he who is born in the house, or bought with money from any foreigner who is not of your seed.

13 He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your money, must be circumcised. My covenant will be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

14 The uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant."

15 God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name will be Sarah.

16 I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her."

17 Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, "Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?"

18 Abraham said to God, "Oh that Ishmael might live before you!"

19 God said, "No, but Sarah, your wife, will bear you a son. You shall call his name Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.

20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

21 But my covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year."

22 When he finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.

23 Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money; every male among the men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the same day, as God had said to him.

24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

25 Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

26 In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised.

27 All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money of a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
