1 ἐγένετο δὲ ἡ ζωὴ σαρρας ἔτη ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι ἑπτά

2 καὶ ἀπέθανεν σαρρα ἐν πόλει αρβοκ ἥ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ κοιλώματι αὕτη ἐστὶν χεβρων ἐν γῇ χανααν ἦλθεν δὲ αβρααμ κόψασθαι σαρραν καὶ πενθῆσαι

3 καὶ ἀνέστη αβρααμ ἀπὸ τοῦ νεκροῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς υἱοῖς χετ λέγων

4 πάροικος καὶ παρεπίδημος ἐγώ εἰμι μεθ' ὑμῶν δότε οὖν μοι κτῆσιν τάφου μεθ' ὑμῶν καὶ θάψω τὸν νεκρόν μου ἀπ' ἐμοῦ

5 ἀπεκρίθησαν δὲ οἱ υἱοὶ χετ πρὸς αβρααμ λέγοντες

6 μή κύριε ἄκουσον δὲ ἡμῶν βασιλεὺς παρὰ θεοῦ εἶ σὺ ἐν ἡμῖν ἐν τοῖς ἐκλεκτοῖς μνημείοις ἡμῶν θάψον τὸν νεκρόν σου οὐδεὶς γὰρ ἡμῶν τὸ μνημεῖον αὐτοῦ κωλύσει ἀπὸ σοῦ τοῦ θάψαι τὸν νεκρόν σου ἐκεῖ

7 ἀναστὰς δὲ αβρααμ προσεκύνησεν τῷ λαῷ τῆς γῆς τοῖς υἱοῖς χετ

8 καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς αβρααμ λέγων εἰ ἔχετε τῇ ψυχῇ ὑμῶν ὥστε θάψαι τὸν νεκρόν μου ἀπὸ προσώπου μου ἀκούσατέ μου καὶ λαλήσατε περὶ ἐμοῦ εφρων τῷ τοῦ σααρ

9 καὶ δότω μοι τὸ σπήλαιον τὸ διπλοῦν ὅ ἐστιν αὐτῷ τὸ ὂν ἐν μέρει τοῦ ἀγροῦ αὐτοῦ ἀργυρίου τοῦ ἀξίου δότω μοι αὐτὸ ἐν ὑμῖν εἰς κτῆσιν μνημείου

10 εφρων δὲ ἐκάθητο ἐν μέσῳ τῶν υἱῶν χετ ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ εφρων ὁ χετταῖος πρὸς αβρααμ εἶπεν ἀκουόντων τῶν υἱῶν χετ καὶ πάντων τῶν εἰσπορευομένων εἰς τὴν πόλιν λέγων

11 παρ' ἐμοὶ γενοῦ κύριε καὶ ἄκουσόν μου τὸν ἀγρὸν καὶ τὸ σπήλαιον τὸ ἐν αὐτῷ σοι δίδωμι ἐναντίον πάντων τῶν πολιτῶν μου δέδωκά σοι θάψον τὸν νεκρόν σου

12 καὶ προσεκύνησεν αβρααμ ἐναντίον τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς γῆς

13 καὶ εἶπεν τῷ εφρων εἰς τὰ ὦτα τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς γῆς ἐπειδὴ πρὸς ἐμοῦ εἶ ἄκουσόν μου τὸ ἀργύριον τοῦ ἀγροῦ λαβὲ παρ' ἐμοῦ καὶ θάψω τὸν νεκρόν μου ἐκεῖ

14 ἀπεκρίθη δὲ εφρων τῷ αβρααμ λέγων

15 οὐχί κύριε ἀκήκοα γῆ τετρακοσίων διδράχμων ἀργυρίου ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ τί ἂν εἴη τοῦτο σὺ δὲ τὸν νεκρόν σου θάψον

16 καὶ ἤκουσεν αβρααμ τοῦ εφρων καὶ ἀπεκατέστησεν αβρααμ τῷ εφρων τὸ ἀργύριον ὃ ἐλάλησεν εἰς τὰ ὦτα τῶν υἱῶν χετ τετρακόσια δίδραχμα ἀργυρίου δοκίμου ἐμπόροις

17 καὶ ἔστη ὁ ἀγρὸς εφρων ὃς ἦν ἐν τῷ διπλῷ σπηλαίῳ ὅς ἐστιν κατὰ πρόσωπον μαμβρη ὁ ἀγρὸς καὶ τὸ σπήλαιον ὃ ἦν ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ πᾶν δένδρον ὃ ἦν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ ὅ ἐστιν ἐν τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτοῦ κύκλῳ

18 τῷ αβρααμ εἰς κτῆσιν ἐναντίον τῶν υἱῶν χετ καὶ πάντων τῶν εἰσπορευομένων εἰς τὴν πόλιν

19 μετὰ ταῦτα ἔθαψεν αβρααμ σαρραν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ σπηλαίῳ τοῦ ἀγροῦ τῷ διπλῷ ὅ ἐστιν ἀπέναντι μαμβρη αὕτη ἐστὶν χεβρων ἐν τῇ γῇ χανααν

20 καὶ ἐκυρώθη ὁ ἀγρὸς καὶ τὸ σπήλαιον ὃ ἦν ἐν αὐτῷ τῷ αβρααμ εἰς κτῆσιν τάφου παρὰ τῶν υἱῶν χετ

2904. 'The life of Sarah was' means all the preceding times and states of the Church as regards Divine truths. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'the life' here, and from the representation of 'Sarah'. 'The life' here - since it refers to the whole span of life and to the periods that constitute it, namely early childhood, youth, adult years, and old age means states, as do all periods of time in general, see 2625, 2788, 2837. And since the subject in what follows is the Church, 'the life' therefore means times and states of the Church. 'Sarah' represents Divine truth, see 1468, 1901, 2063, 2172, 2173, 2198, 2507. From this it follows that here 'the life of Sarah was' means in the internal sense all the preceding times and states of the Church as regards Divine truths. When she lived as Abraham's wife Sarah represented the Lord's Divine Truth joined to His Divine Good, as may be seen in the paragraphs just quoted. And as she represented the Lord's Divine Truth, so she also means the Church's Divine truth, for in the Church no other truth exists than that which is the Lord's. Truth that does not come from Him is not truth, as is also clear both from the Word itself and from the doctrine of faith drawn from it. It is clear from the Word itself in John,

Man cannot receive anything unless it is given him from heaven. John 3:27.

And elsewhere in John,

Without Me you can do nothing. John 15:5.

The same is also clear from the doctrine of faith, which teaches that the whole of faith, that is, all truth, comes from the Lord.

[2] The representatives and the meaningful signs in the Word are such that every single one in the highest sense has regard to the Lord; and from this springs the life itself of the Word. And because they have regard to the Lord, they also have regard to His kingdom, since the Lord is the All in His kingdom. Divine things from the Lord within His kingdom are what make it the kingdom. To the extent therefore that an angel, spirit, or man receives good and truth from the Lord, and believes that these come from Him, he is in His kingdom. But to the extent that he does not receive them, and does not believe that they come from the Lord, he is not in His kingdom. Thus Divine things from the Lord are what constitute His kingdom or heaven; and this is what is meant when it is said that the Lord is the All in His kingdom.
