The language of ivrit ( עברית ) Genesis 23, Post #2

avatar

Welcome to my Hebrew reading & language series.

Genesis 23:7-9

Here is the place as it stands today. Machpelah is where Sarah, Abraham's wife, is buried as well as the line that became the people of Israel.

It is amazing that we have treasures like this to visit today. It is in Hebron which is the center of many important projects and military bases still today.

Abraham is still standing and speaking to the "Hitim" to ask for a burial place as we read today. He calls on Ephron who owns a burial site and offers to pay the full price saying, "For the full price let him give it to me in your presence as property for a burying place."

Giving something does not always mean gifting it.

The story continues next week as Ephron responds...
