from thee his sepulchre； but that thou mayest bury thy dead。
23：7亚伯拉罕就起来，向那地的赫人下拜，
And Abraham stood up； and bowed himself to the people of the land； even to the children of Heth。
23：8对他们说，你们若有意叫我埋葬我的死人，使她不在我眼前，就请听我的话，为我求琐辖的儿子以弗仑，
And he muned 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；
23：9把田头上那麦比拉洞给我。他可以按着足价卖给我，作我在你们中间的坟地。
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。
23：10当时以弗仑正坐在赫人中间。于是，赫人以弗仑在城门出入的赫人面前对亚伯拉罕说，
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；
23：11不然，我主请听。我送给你这块田，连田间的洞也送给你，在我同族的人面前都给你，可以埋葬你的死人。
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。
23：12亚伯拉罕就在那地的人民面前下拜，
And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land。
23：13在他们面前对以弗仑说，你若应允，请听我的话。我要把田价给你，求你收下，我就在那里埋葬我的死人。
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。
23：14以弗仑回答亚伯拉罕说，
And Ephron answered Abraham； saying unto him；
23：15我主请听。值四百舍客勒银子的一块田，在你我中间还算什么呢，只管埋葬你的死
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。
23：16亚伯拉罕听从了以弗仑，照着他在赫人面前所说的话，把买卖通用的银子平了四百舍客勒给以弗仑。
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。
23：17于是，麦比拉，幔利前，以弗仑的那块田和其中的洞，并田间四围的树木，
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
23：18都定准归与亚伯拉罕，乃是他在赫人面前并城门出入的人面前买妥的。
Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth； before all that went in at the gate of his city。
23：19此后，亚伯拉罕把他妻子撒拉埋葬在迦南地幔利前的麦比拉田间的洞里。幔利就是希伯仑。
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。
23：20从此，那块田和田间的洞就藉着赫人定准归与亚伯拉罕作坟地。
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。
旧约 创世记（Genesis） 第 24 章 （ 本篇共有 50 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
24：1亚伯拉罕年纪老迈，向来在一切事上耶和华都赐福给他。
And Abraham was old； and well stricken in age： and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things。
24：2亚伯拉罕对管理他全业最老的仆人说，请你把手放在我大腿底下。
And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house； that ruled over all that he had； Put； I pray thee； thy hand under my thigh：
24：3我要叫你指着耶和华天地的主起誓，不要为我儿子娶这迦南地中的女子为妻。
And I will make thee swear by the LORD； the God of heaven； and the God of the earth； that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites； among whom I dwell：
24：4你要往我本地本族去，为我的儿子以撒娶一个妻子。
But thou shalt go unto my country； and to my kindred； and take a wife unto my son Isaac。
24：5仆人对他说，倘若女子不肯跟我到这地方来，我必须将你的儿子带回你原出之地吗。
And the servant said unto him； Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land： must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest？
24：6亚伯拉罕对他说，你要谨慎，不要带我的儿子回那里去。
And Abraham said unto him； Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again。
24：7耶和华天上的主曾带领我离开父家和本族的地，对我说话，向我起誓说，我要将这地赐给你的后裔。他必差遣使者在你面前，你就可以从那里为我儿子娶一个妻子。
The LORD God of heaven； which took me from my father's house； and from the land of my kindred； and which spake unto me； and that sware unto me； saying； Unto thy seed will I give this land； he shall send his angel before thee； and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence。
24：8倘若女子不肯跟你来，我使你起的誓就与你无干了，只是不可带我的儿子回那里去。
And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee； then thou shalt be clear from this my oath： only bring not my son thither again。
24：9仆人就把手放在他主人亚伯拉罕的大腿底下，为这事向他起誓。
And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master； and sware to him concerning that matter。
24：10那仆人从他主人的骆驼里取了十匹骆驼，并带些他主人各样的财物，起身往美索不达米亚去，到了拿鹤的城。
And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master； and departed； for all the goods of his master were in his hand： and he arose； and went to Mesopotamia； unto the city of Nahor。
24：11天将晚，众女子出来打水的时候，他便叫骆驼跪在城外的水井那里。
And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening； even the time that women go out to draw water。
24：12他说，耶和华我主人亚伯拉罕的神阿，求你施恩给我主人亚伯拉罕，使我今日遇见好机会。
And he said； O LORD God of my master Abraham； I pray thee； send me good speed this day； and shew kindness unto my master Abraham。
24：13我现今站在井旁，城内居民的女子们正出来打水。
Behold； I stand here by the well of water； and the daughters of the men of the city e out to draw water：
24：14我向哪一个女子说，请你拿下水瓶来，给我水喝，她若说，请喝，我也给你的骆驼喝，愿那女子就作你所预定给你仆人以撒的妻。这样，我便知道你施恩给我主人了。
And let it e to pass； that the damsel to whom I shall say； Let down thy pitcher； I pray thee； that I may drink； and she shall say； Drink； and I will give thy camels drink also： let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac； and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master。
24：15话还没有说完，不料，利百加肩头上扛着水瓶出来。利百加是彼土利所生的。彼土利是亚伯拉罕兄弟拿鹤妻子密迦的儿子。
And it came to pass； before he had done speaking； that； behold； Rebekah came out； who was born to Bethuel； son of Milcah； the wife of Nahor； Abraham's brother； with her pitcher upon her shoulder。
24：16那女子容貌极其俊美，还是处女，也未曾有人亲近她。她下到井旁，打满了瓶，又上来。
And the damsel was very fair to look upon； a virgin； neither had any man known her： and she went down to the well； and filled her pitcher； and came up。
24：17仆人跑上前去迎着她，说，求你将瓶里的水给我一点喝。
And the servant ran to meet her； and said； Let me； I pray thee； drink a little water of thy pitcher。
24：18女子说，我�
