Genesis Chapter 23
1. And was the
life 2416 of Sarah one hundred twenty seven years,the years of
the life of Sarah.
2. And died Sarah in
Qir'yath-Ar'ba 7153; which is Cheb'ron 2275 in the
land of K'naan: and came Ab'raham to lament 5594 for Sarah,
and to bewail 1058 her.
3. Rose up Ab'raham
from upon the face of his dead, and spoke to the sons of Cheth 2845,
saying,
4. "A
sojourner 1616 sojourning 8453 am I with you;
give 5414 me a possession 272 of a
sepulchre 6913 with you, to bury 6912 my dead
from before me.
5. Answered 6030 the
children of Cheth Ab'raham, saying to him,
6. "Hear us,
lord 113: a chief prince 5387 of
Elohiym are you among us, in the choicest 4005 of our
sepulchres bury your dead; any man from us his sepulchre will not
withhold 3607, for you to bury your dead."
7. And rose up
Ab'raham, and bowed 7812 to the people of the land, the
children of Cheth.
8. Spoke he with them,
saying, "If it is your wish 5315 that I bury my dead in your
presence, hear me, and entreat 6293 Eph'ron 6085 son
of Tsochar 6714,
9. that he might give
me the cave 4631 of Mach'pelah 4375, that he has,
that is at the end 7097 of the field 7704; for
silver 3701 in full 4392 he shall give to me
among you for a possession of a sepulchre."
10. And Ephron dwelled
among the children of Cheth; and answered Ephron the Chittiy 2850 Ab'raham
in the ears 241 of the children of Cheth, of all that entered
the gate 8179 of the city, saying,
11. "No, my
lord 113, hear me; the field I give to you, and the cave that is in
it, to you I give it; in the sight of the children of my people I give it to
you: bury your dead."
12. Bowed down
Ab'raham before the people of the land.
13. He spoke to
Eph'ron in the ears of the people of the land, saying, "But 389 if
you will, oh that you would 3863 hear
me! I will give you silver for the field; take it from me, and I will bury my
dead there."
14. Answered Eph'ron
Ab'raham, saying to him,
15. "My
lord 113, listen to me; the land is worth four hundred
sheqels 8255 of silver; between you and between me what is
that? Bury your dead."
16. Listened Ab'raham
to Eph'ron, and weighed out 8254 Ab'raham to
Ephron the silver, that he spoke of in the ears of the children of Cheth, four
hundred sheqels of silver, as passed over 5674 to
the merchant 5503.
17. And
established 6965 was the field of Eph'ron was in Mach'pelah,
which was before Mam're 4471, the field, and the cave in it, and
all the trees that were in the field, and in all the borders around it,
18. to Ab'raham as a
possession in the sight of the children of Cheth, and all that came through the
gates of the city.
19. And after this
buried Ab'raham Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Mach'pelah before
Mam're: the same is Chebron in the land of K'naan.
20. And establish was
the field, and the cave that was in it to Ab'raham for a possession as a
burying place from the children of Cheth.
Genesis Chapter 24
1. Ab'raham was old,
and come into days; and Yahweh blessed Ab'raham in all things.
2. Said Ab'raham to
his eldest servant of his household, that ruled 4910 over all
he had, "Put now your hand under my thigh 3409,
3. and you shall swear 7650 by Yahweh,
Elohey 430 the sky, and Elohey the land, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the
K'naaniy among whom I
dwell,
4. but to the land and
to my kindred from where I walked, and take a wife for my son Yits'chaq."
5. Said to him the
servant, "Perhaps 194 be not willing 14 the
woman to walk after me to this land: do I surely return 7725/7725 your
son to the land that you went forth from there?"
6. Said to him
Ab'raham, "Guard 8104 you lest return my son there!
7. Yahweh Elohey the
sky that took me from the household of my father, and from the land of my
kindred, and which spoke to me, and swore 7650to me, saying, 'To
your seedline I give this land', He shall send His messenger 4397 before
you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
8. And if be not
willing the woman to walk after you, you shall be clear 5352 from
this oath 7621; only 7535 my son do not return
there."
9. Put the servant his
hand of the thigh of Ab'raham his lord 113 and swore upon
these things.
10. Took the servant
ten camels 1581 of the camels of his lord and walked; for all
the goods 2898 of his lord were in his hand:
and he rose up and walked to Aram-Naharayim 763 to the city of
Nachor.
11. He made to
kneel 1288 his camels outside the city by a well of water at
the time 6256 of
evening 6153,
the time that go forth women to draw water 7579.
12. He said,
"Yahweh, Elohey 430 my master 113 Ab'raham, cause
to meet me 7136 please 4994, this day, and do
kindness 2617 to my master Ab'raham:
13. behold, I am
standing 5324 by the spring 5869 of water;
and the daughters of the men of the city come forth to draw water;
14. let it be the
damsel 5291 that I speak to, 'Incline 5186 please 4994 your
jar 3537 so that I may
drink 8354,'
and she shall say, 'Drink, and also your camels drink 8248,': she
whom You have judged 3198 for your servant for Yits'chaq: and
I shall know the You have done kindness with my master."
15. And it was
before 2962 he had finished 3615 speaking,
behold, Rib'qah 7259 came forth that born to B'thuel 1328 son
of Mil'kah wife of Nachor, brother of Ab'raham, with her jar upon her
shoulder 7926,
16. and the damsel was
very fair 2896 of appearance 4758, a virgin 1330,
which a man had not known 3045, and she went down to the spring and
filled her jar, and came up.
17. Ran 7323 the
servant to meet 7125 her, and said, "Let me drink 1572 please,
a little 4592 water from your jar."
18. And she said,
"Drink my lord 113;" and she hurried 4116 and
brought down her jar in her hand, and gave him drink 8248.
19. When she
finished 3615 giving him drink, she said, "Also your
camels I will draw water for, until they have finished drinking."
20. She hurried, and
emptied 6168 her jar into the water-trough 8268,
and ran again to the well 875 to draw, and drew for all his
camels.
21. The man gazed 7583 at
her keeping silence 2790, to know if had
prospered 6743 Yahweh his journey 1870 or
not.
22. And it was, as
finished his camels drinking, took the man an earring 5141 of
gold 2091 of the weight of a half 1235 sheqel 4948,
and two bracelets 6781 for her hands of ten 6235 gold
sheqels;
23. and said,
"The daughter of whom are you? Tell me please, is there in the house of
your father a place for us to lodge 3885?"
24. And she said to
him, "The daughter of B'thuel am I, son of Mil'kah, that she bore to
Nachor."
25. She said to him
also, Straw 8401 and also fodder 4554 in
plenty 7227 is with us, and also a place to lodge."
26. Bowed the man, and
prostrated to Yahweh,
27. saying,
"Blessed be Yahweh Elohey my master Ab'raham, that has not left 5800 His steadfast
faithfulness 2617/571 with my master: I am on my journey,
guided 5148 by Yahweh to the house of the brother of my
master."
28. And ran the girl,
and told the household of her mother these things.
29. And Rib'qah had a
brother, and his name was Laban 3837, and ran Laban to the man
outside to the spring.
30. It was, when when saw
he the earring, and the bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when heard he
the words of his sister, saying, "Thus spoke to me the man;" that he
came to the man; and behold, he stood by the camels at the spring.
31. He said,
"Come, blessed of Yahweh, for why stand you outside? I have made
clear 6437 the house and a place for the camels."
32. Came the man into
the house, and he loosed 6605 his camels, and gave straw and
fodder to the camels,and water to wash 7364 his feet, and the
feet of the men that were with him.
33. They set before
him food to eat, but he said, "I cannot eat until I have spoken of this
matter." And he said, "Speak."
34. Said he, "A
servant of Ab'raham am I.
35. And Yahweh has
blessed my master greatly, and he has become great 1431,
and has given him sheep, and oxen, and silver, and gold, and male slaves, and
female slaves, and camels, and asses.
36. Bore Sarah wife of
my master a son to my master after she was old, and he has given to him all
that is his.
37. Made me swear my master, saying, 'You shall not take a wife from the daughters of the K'naaniy that I dwell with in the land;
38. but to the house
of my father you shall walk, to my clan 4940, and take a wife for
my son.'
39. Said I to my
master, 'Perhaps the woman will not follow me?'
40. And he said to me,
'Yahweh whom I walk before, will send His messenger with you, and make
to prosper 6743 your journey; and you shall take a wife
for my son of the clan 4940 of the house of my father;
41. Then 227 you
shall be clear 5352 from my oath 423, when you
come to my clan: and if they do not give to you, you shall be free 5355 from
my oath.'
42. I came today to
the spring, and said, 'Yahweh Elohey my master Ab'raham, if it will be 3426 now
to make prosper my journey that I walk upon;
43. behold, I stand at
the spring of water; and it will be when the virgin 5959 comes
forth to draw water, and I say to her, 'Give me drink, please, a little water
from your jar,'
44. and she says to
me, 'Also you drink, and also your camels I will draw for,' she is the woman
that has decided upon Yahweh for the son of my master.'
45. and before I had
finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rib'qah came forth with a jar upon her
shoulder, and went down to the spring, and drew: and I said to her, 'Let me
drink, please.'
46. She hastened 4116,
and let down her jar from upon her, and said, 'Drink 8354, and also
for your camels I will give drink 8248,' so I drank,
and also to the camels she gave drink.
47. I asked 7592 her,
saying,' The daughter of whom are you?' and she said, 'The daughter of B'thuel
son of Nachor that was born of Mil'kah,' and I put the ring upon her nose, and
the bracelets upon her hands.
48. And I bowed my
head, and prostrated myself to Yahweh, and blessed Yahweh Elohey my master
Ab'raham, that had guided 5148 me in the way of truth to take
the daughter of the brother of my master for his son.
49. And now if you
will deal kindly 2617 and truly 571 with my
master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn 6437 upon
the right hand 3225 or upon the left 8040."
50. Answered Laban and
B'thuel, saying, "From Yahweh goes forth this thing. We are not able 3201 to
speak to it evil or good.
51. Behold, Rib'qah is
before you, take her, and walk, and she shall be the wife of the son of your
master, as has spoken Yahweh.
52. And it was, that
when heard the servant of Ab'raham the words, he prostrated himself upon the
ground to Yahweh.
53. Brought forth the
servant jewelry 3627 of silver and jewelry of gold, and
clothing 899, and gave them to Rib'qah: and precious
things 4030and gave them to her brother and
mother.
54. They ate and
drank, he, and the men that were with him, and stayed the night, and rose up in
the morning, and he said, "Send me to my master."
55. And said her
brother and mother, "Let dwell the damsel with us a few days,
or ten 6218, and afterwards walk."
56. He said to them,
"Do not 408 delay 309 me, as Yahweh has
made prosperous my journey; send me away to walk to my master."
57. Said they,
"We will call the damsel and inquire 7592 at her mouth."
58. Called they
Rib'qah, and said to her, "Will you walk with this man?" And she
said, "I will walk."
59. They sent away
Rib'qah their sister, and her nurse 3243, and the servant of
Ab'raham, and his men.
60. And they blessed
Rib'qah, saying to her, "You are our sister, be you mother of thousands 505 of
myriads 7233, and let posses 3423 your
offspring 2233 the gates 8179 of their
enemies 8130."
61. Rose up Rib'qah,
and her damsels, and they rode 7392 upon the camels, and
walked after the man: and took the servant Rib'qah, and walked.
62. And Yits'chaq came
by way of B'er-Lachay-Roiy 883, and he dwelled in the land of the
Negeb.
63. Went forth
Yits'chaq to rove about 7742 in the field at the
turn 6437 of the evening; and he lifted up his eyes, and
looked, and behold, the camels were coming.
64. And lifted up
Rib'qah her eyes, and saw Yits'chaq , and dismounted 5307 from
upon the camel.
65. She said to the
servant, "Who is the man, that man 1976, that
walks in the field to meet us?"
And said the servant,
"He is my master." And she took a veil 6809 and covered
herself 3680.
66. Recounted 5608 the
servant toYits'chaq all the things that he had done.
67. And brought her
Yits'chaq to the tent of Sarah his mother, and he took 3947 Rib'qah,
and she became his wife; and he loved 157 her; and was
comforted 5162 Yits'chaq after 310 his
mother died.
