A New Study For A New Year: Personalities

Genesis 23

23 And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah. 2 And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.

3 And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying,

4 I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.

5 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,

6 Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.

7 And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.

8 And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,

9 That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you.

10 And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,

11 Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead.

12 And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land.

13 And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.

14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,

15 My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.

16 And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.

17 And the field of Ephron which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure

18 Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.

19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.

20 And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth.

“The Palestinian Rehabilitation Committee raised the UNESCO flag next to the national Palestinian flag in front of Hebron's Ibrahimi Mosque or the Tomb of the Patriarchs in the southern West Bank (sic) city's old quarter on December 13, 2011, as the Palestinian flag was hoisted at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris, a month after the Palestinians' admission to the UN cultural agency sparked anger and reprisals from the United States and Israel.“

Today is this Thread's 16th Birthday, and I just read that it's Ronald Reagan's Birthday as well. I find that interesting!

Today we read about the Death of Sarah and Abraham's Funeral Preparations. The Cave of Machpelah, where Abraham chose to bury Sarah, belonged to somebody else, and the Scriptures have a remarkable story of the Transaction that took place.

When I got my Real Estate License in Florida, I was struck by the similarity between the Land Transactions in the Old Testament and the laws and practices of the Present Day. Every Transfer of Property has to have these elements:

1. The Name of the Buyer
2. The Name of The Seller
3. A Description of the Property (using measurements, landmarks, boundaries, etc)
4. The Price Paid for the Property.

In addition, the Transfer of the Deed needs to be Registered and Stored at some secure facility (such as the City Hall), where it can be looked up if there is a dispute in the future.

A quick reading of Today's Chapter makes it clear:

1. The Name of the Buyer: Abraham.
2. The Name of The Seller: Ephron the Hittite
3. A Description of the Property: the field of Ephron which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure
4. The Price Paid for the Property: 400 Sheckles of Silver

This Transaction was witnessed by the entire community, and enshrined in the Torah, which has lasted a lot longer that any "City Hall".

Abraham only wanted the best for his Beloved Sarah. Ephron tried to give the property to Abraham for free, out of respect, but Abraham wouldn't have it. Not only would Sarah's burial place have to COST him something, Abraham wanted there to be NO QUESTION as to its ownership. This is further demonstrated by the fact that Sarah is buried there (not Hagar), Isaac is buried there (not Ishmael), and Jacob is buried there (not Esau).

Somehow a mosque has ended up on the tomb, as well as a little synagogue on the side. There is no dispute about who's buried there.

This Chapter gives us an idea of Abraham's Integrity and Love for Sarah, which was evident even to the strangers who lived around him.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.
