1 Y fue la vida de Sara ciento veintisiete años; tantos fueron los años de la vida de Sara.

2 Y murió Sara en Quiriat-arba, que es Hebrón, en la tierra de Canaán; y vino Abraham a endechar a Sara, y a llorarla.

3 Y se levantó Abraham de delante de su muerta, y habló a los hijos de Het, diciendo:

4 Peregrino y advenedizo soy entre vosotros; dadme heredad de sepultura con vosotros, y sepultaré mi muerta de delante de mí.

5 Y respondieron los hijos de Het a Abraham, y le dijeron:

6 Oyenos, señor mío, eres un príncipe de Dios entre nosotros; en lo mejor de nuestras sepulturas sepulta a tu muerta; ninguno de nosotros te impedirá su sepultura, para que entierres tu muerta.

7 Y Abraham se levantó, y se inclinó al pueblo de aquella tierra, a los hijos de Het;

8 y habló con ellos, diciendo: Si tenéis voluntad que yo sepulte mi muerta de delante de mí, oídme, e interceded por mí con Efrón, hijo de Zohar,

9 para que me dé la cueva de Macpela, que tiene al cabo de su heredad; que por su justo precio me la dé, para heredad de sepultura en medio de vosotros.

10 Este Efrón habitaba entre los hijos de Het; y respondió Efrón heteo a Abraham, en oídos de los hijos de Het, de todos los que entraban por la puerta de su ciudad, diciendo:

11 No, señor mío, óyeme: te doy la heredad, y te doy también la cueva que está en ella; delante de los hijos de mi pueblo te la doy; sepulta tu muerta.

12 Y Abraham se inclinó delante del pueblo de la tierra.

13 Y respondió a Efrón en oídos del pueblo de la tierra, diciendo: Antes, si te place , te ruego que me oigas; yo daré el precio de la heredad, tómalo de mí, y sepultaré en ella mi muerta.

14 Y respondió Efrón a Abraham, diciéndole:

15 Señor mío, escúchame: la tierra vale cuatrocientos siclos de plata; ¿qué es esto entre mí y ti? Entierra pues tu muerta.

16 Entonces Abraham se convino con Efrón, y pesó Abraham a Efrón el dinero que dijo, oyéndolo los hijos de Het, cuatrocientos siclos de plata, corrientes por los mercaderes.

17 Y quedó la heredad de Efrón que estaba en Macpela enfrente de Mamre, la heredad y la cueva que estaba en ella, y todos los árboles que había en la heredad, y en todo su término al derredor,

18 de Abraham en posesión, a vista de los hijos de Het, y de todos los que entraban por la puerta de su ciudad.

19 Y después de esto sepultó Abraham a Sara su mujer en la cueva de la heredad de Macpela enfrente de Mamre, que es Hebrón en la tierra de Canaán.

20 Y quedó la heredad y la cueva que en ella había , de Abraham, en heredad de sepultura comprada de los hijos de Het.

3073. 'And in this I shall know that You have dealt mercifully with my master' means that the beginning of the marriage lies in Divine love. This is clear from the meaning of 'mercy' here in the internal sense as Divine love, dealt with in 3063. And since the subject is the betrothal of Rebekah to Isaac, that is, the joining of Divine truth to the Divine Good of the Rational, 'dealing mercifully with my master' means nothing else than a marriage, and so a marriage beginning in Divine love. For this statement is also the conclusion of his plea, and the purpose for which he made it.

Arcana Coelestia#2500

2500. 'Abraham travelled from there towards the land of the south' means the Lord's advances in goods and truths of faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'travelling' as advancing, dealt with in 1457, and from the meaning of 'the land of the south' as the good and truth of faith, dealt with in 1458. Previously in Chapter 12 it was said of Abraham when entering Egypt that 'he travelled, going on and travelling towards the south', verses 9-10, which meant in the internal sense that the Lord, when a boy, made advances into goods and truths as regards knowledge consisting of cognitions, 1456, 1459. Now in the present chapter it is said that he travelled towards the land of the south, which means further and more interior advances, made this time into goods and truths as regards the doctrine of faith. This is why the expression 'the land of the south' is used here, for 'land' in its proper sense means the Church, for whose sake doctrine exists, 566, 662, 1066, 2117, 2118.

[2] As regards the Lord's instruction in general, the nature of it is quite plain from the internal sense of this chapter. From that sense it is plain that He was taught through a whole succession of revelations and so through Divine perceptions and thoughts from Himself, that is, from His Divine. These perceptions and thoughts He implanted in Divine intelligence and wisdom, and continued to do so until the perfect union of His Human and His Divine had been effected. This way of becoming wise is not at all open to anyone else, for it sprang from the Divine itself, which was His inmost, being the Father's, from whom He had been conceived. Thus it sprang from the Divine Love itself which the Lord alone possessed and which constituted His desire to save the entire human race.

[3] It is an arcanum as yet known by scarcely anyone that love itself holds wisdom and intelligence within it, but that the nature of these is determined by that of the love. The reason wisdom and intelligence exist within love is that all influx takes place into the love, or what amounts to the same, into the good, and so into the life itself of man. This is the source of the wisdom and intelligence possessed by angels, which are beyond description. It is the source also of the wisdom and intelligence possessed by men who are governed by love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbour. Although during their lifetime the latter do not discern at all the presence with them of such wisdom and intelligence, they nevertheless enter into these after death for the reason that they exist within love itself and within charity itself, see 2494. As for the Lord's love however, this was infinitely higher than the love which exists in angels, for it was Divine Love itself, and therefore He had within Himself the acme of all wisdom and intelligence. Yet into the possession of this, because He was born a human being (homo) and advanced as a human being does according to Divine order, He entered by successive degrees so that He might in that way unite His Human to the Divine and make it Divine, doing so by His own power.
