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

2943. 'To all entering into the gate of his city, saying' means matters of doctrine through which one comes to faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'a gate' as a place of entry and so as that which, in the same way as a door, leads in, dealt with in 2145, 2152, 2356, 2385, and from the meaning of 'a city' as truth, which constitutes faith, dealt with in 402, 2268, 2449, 2451, 2712. In the Ancient Church a city was not like the city of later or of modern times. That is to say, a city did not consist of a collection or gathering together of individuals but of separate families living side by side. A family descended from the same forefather constituted a city. The city of Nahor, for example, to which Abraham's servant went to betroth Rebekah to Isaac, Genesis 24:10, consisted of the family of Nahor which was there. And Shalem, the city of Shechem, to which Jacob came after his departure from Paddan Aram, Genesis 33:18 and the whole of Chapter 34, consisted of the family of Hamor and Shechem which was there. And the same was so with all other cities in those times.

[2] And as it had come down to them from the most ancient people that nations and families represented heavenly communities, and so the things of love and charity, 685, 1159, therefore when a city is mentioned instead of a family, and a people instead of a nation, truth that constitutes faith is meant. It is also why in the genuine sense the city of God and the holy city mean faith in the Lord. And as 'a city' meant faith, 'the gate of the city' means matters of doctrine through which one comes to faith. The same was also meant in the Jewish representative Church by the judges and elders sitting in the gate of the city and giving judgement there, as is evident from historical sections of the Word, and also in Zechariah,

These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth, everyone to his companion; judge in your gates the truth and the judgement of peace. Zechariah 8:16.

And in Amos,

Hate evil, and love good, and establish judgement in the gate. Amos 5:15.

'A gate' also means the place of entry into the rational mind, and the rational mind is compared to a city, see 2851.
