1 Και εζησεν η Σαρρα εκατον εικοσιεπτα ετη· ταυτα ειναι τα ετη της ζωης της Σαρρας.

2 Και απεθανεν η Σαρρα εν Κιριαθ-αρβα· αυτη ειναι η Χεβρων εν γη Χανααν· και ηλθεν ο Αβρααμ δια να κλαυση την Σαρραν και να πενθηση αυτην.

3 Και σηκωθεις ο Αβρααμ απ' εμπροσθεν του νεκρου αυτου, ελαλησε προς τους υιους του Χετ λεγων,

4 ξενος και παροικος ειμαι εγω μεταξυ σας· δοτε μοι κτημα ταφου μεταξυ σας, δια να θαψω τον νεκρον μου απ' εμπροσθεν μου.

5 Απεκριθησαν δε οι υιοι του Χετ προς τον Αβρααμ λεγοντες προς αυτον,

6 Ακουσον ημας, κυριε μου· συ εισαι μεταξυ ημων ηγεμων εκ Θεου· θαψον τον νεκρον σου εις το εκλεκτοτερον εκ των μνημειων ημων· ουδεις εξ ημων θελει αρνηθη το μνημειον αυτου προς σε, δια να θαψης τον νεκρον σου.

7 Τοτε σηκωθεις ο Αβρααμ προσεκυνησε προς τον λαον του τοπου, προς τους υιους του Χετ·

8 και ελαλησε προς αυτους λεγων, Εαν ευαρεστηται η ψυχη σας να θαψω τον νεκρον μου απ' εμπροσθεν μου, ακουσατε μου και μεσιτευσατε υπερ εμου προς τον Εφρων τον υιον του Σωαρ,

9 και ας μοι δωση το σπηλαιον αυτου Μαχπελαχ, το εν τη ακρα του αγρου αυτου· εις πληρη τιμην ας μοι δωση αυτο, δια κτημα ταφου μεταξυ σας.

10 Ο δε Εφρων εκαθητο εν τω μεσω των υιων του Χετ· και απεκριθη ο Εφρων ο Χετταιος προς τον Αβρααμ εις επηκοον των υιων του Χετ, παντων των εισερχομενων εις την πυλην της πολεως αυτου, λεγων,

11 Ουχι, κυριε μου, ακουσον μου· σοι διδω τον αγρον, σοι διδω και το σπηλαιον το εν αυτω· επι παρουσια των υιων του λαου μου διδω αυτα εις σε· θαψον τον νεκρον σου.

12 Και προσεκυνησεν ο Αβρααμ εμπροσθεν του λαου του τοπου·

13 και ειπε προς τον Εφρων εις επηκοον του λαου του τοπου λεγων, Εαν συ θελης, ακουσον μου, παρακαλω· θελω δωσει το αργυριον του αγρου· λαβε αυτο παρ' εμου, και θελω θαψει τον νεκρον μου εκει.

14 Ο δε Εφρων απεκριθη προς τον Αβρααμ, λεγων προς αυτον,

15 Ακουσον μου, κυριε μου· γη τετρακοσιων σικλων αργυριου, τι ειναι μεταξυ εμου και σου; θαψον λοιπον τον νεκρον σου.

16 Και ηκουσεν ο Αβρααμ τον Εφρων· και εζυγισεν ο Αβρααμ εις τον Εφρων το αργυριον, το οποιον ειπεν εις επηκοον των υιων του Χετ τετρακοσιους σικλους αργυριου, δεκτου μεταξυ εμπορων.

17 Και ο αγρος του Εφρων, οστις ητο εν Μαχπελαχ, εμπροσθεν της Μαμβρη, ο αγρος και το σπηλαιον το εν αυτω και παντα τα δενδρα τα εν τω αγρω και εν πασι τοις οριοις κυκλω, ησφαλισθησαν

18 εις τον Αβρααμ δια κτημα, ενωπιον των υιων του Χετ, ενωπιον παντων των εισερχομενων εις την πυλην της πολεως αυτου.

19 Και μετα ταυτα εθαψεν ο Αβρααμ Σαρραν την γυναικα αυτου εν τω σπηλαιω του αγρου Μαχπελαχ, εμπροσθεν της Μαμβρη· αυτη ειναι Χεβρων εν γη Χανααν.

20 Και ο αγρος και το σπηλαιον το εν αυτω, ησφαλισθησαν εις τον Αβρααμ δια κτημα ταφον παρα των υιων του Χετ.

2946. 'The field I give to you, and the cave that is in it I give to you' means preparation from themselves as regards the things that belong to the Church and to faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'a field' as the Church, dealt with in 368, 2936; from the meaning of 'the cave that is in it', that is to say, in the field, as the obscurity of faith, dealt with in 2935; and from the meaning of 'giving the field and giving the cave' - or what amounts to the same, not taking any payment from Abraham - as not wishing to be redeemed by the Lord, but to achieve it by themselves and so to prepare themselves in these matters. Such is the first state of all who are being reformed and becoming spiritual; that is to say, they do not believe that they are reformed by the Lord but by themselves, that is, that all will of good and all thought of truth originate in themselves. What is more, the Lord maintains them in that state, for if He does not they are not able to be reformed. Indeed if they were told before regeneration has taken place that they are incapable by themselves of doing anything good, or by themselves of thinking anything true, they would either lapse into the mistake of supposing that they must wait for an influx into the will and an influx into thought, and not attempt a thing, if that influx does not take place; or into the mistake of supposing that if good and truth have any other origin but themselves, nothing would ever be attributed to them as righteousness; or into the mistake that in this case they would be like machines without a mind or any control of their own; or into further mistakes. Therefore they are allowed to think that good and truth originate in themselves.

[2] But after they have been regenerated, the recognition that the situation is different is gradually instilled into them - that everything true comes wholly from the Lord. And as they grow more perfect it is also instilled into them that whatever does not come from the Lord is evil and false. Those who have been regenerated are led, if not during their lifetime then in the next life, not only to know this but also to see it with perception, for all angels enjoy the perception that this is so. Please see what has been stated already about these matters in the following places:

Everything good and true comes from the Lord, 1614, 2016.

All intelligence and wisdom come from the Lord, 109, 112, 121, 124.

Of himself man cannot achieve anything good or think anything true, 874-876.

Nevertheless everyone ought to do good as if from his proprium or own self, and not stay his hands, 1712.

If man compels himself to withstand evil and to do good as if from himself he receives a heavenly proprium from the Lord, 1937, 1947.
