創世記 23:1-3 CUNPTS

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Genesis 23:1-20

The Burial of Sarah Genesis 23:0 It has been remarked as a singular circumstance that Sarah is the only woman whose age is mentioned in the Scriptures. At the time of her death her only son Isaac was thirty-seven years old, she herself being ninety at the time of his birth. We know little about Sarah, except that she was comely to look upon; somewhat severe towards Hagar her handmaid, and that she was the mother of Isaac! This seems quite little when mentioned in one sentence, but really it... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Genesis 23:1

And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah. The subject of this Chapter is that common place subject which belongs to our nature universally, and forms a part in the history of all persons and families. Death here we are told makes an inroad into the house of Abraham, and takes away Sarah, the desire of his eyes, with a stroke. The Patriarch's concern for the purchase of a burying ground is here related; his treaty for that purpose with... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Genesis 23:2

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. Genesis 50:10 ; Acts 8:2 . How suited the observation of the Patriarch, both to this, as well as to himself; and to all other cases. Genesis 47:9 . How applicable that prayer! Psalms 90:12 . How delightful that thought! Psalms 102:24-27 . read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Genesis 23:1

Sara. She is the only woman whose age the Scripture specifies; a distinction which her exalted dignity and faith deserved. (Galatians iv. 23; Hebrews xi. 11.) She was a figure of the Christian Church. (Calmet) read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Genesis 23:2

City. Hebrew, Cariath arbah, Josue xiv. 15. --- Which is Hebron. Serarius thinks it took its name from the society (cherber) between Abraham and the princes of the city. Hebron the son of Caleb possessed it afterwards. --- Came from Bersabee, (chap. xxii. 19.) or to the place where the corpse lay, at Arbee, which signifies four; as Adam, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, with their four wives, reposed there. (Calmet) --- And weep. In the middle of this word, in the printed Hebrew, there is left... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Genesis 23:3

Obsequies, or solemn mourning, accompanied with prayer. (Acts viii. 2; Matthew xii.) The Jews are still accustomed to say, when they bury their dead, "Ye fathers, who sleep in Hebron, open to him the gates of Eden;" herein agreeing with the Catholic doctrine, as they did in the days of Judas the Machabee.

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 23:1-13

1-13 The longest life must shortly come to a close. Blessed be God that there is a world where sin, death, vanity, and vexation cannot enter. Blessed be his name, that even death cannot part believers from union with Christ. Those whom we most love, yea, even our own bodies, which we so care for, must soon become loathsome lumps of clays, and be buried out of sight. How loose then should we be to all earthly attachments and adornments! Let us seek rather that our souls be adorned with heavenly... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Genesis 23:1-2

The Death of Sarah v. 1. And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old; these were the years of the life of Sarah. She thus lived to a ripe old age and saw her son Isaac grow up to full manhood, for the latter was now thirty-seven years old. Meanwhile Abraham had moved back to Hebron. v. 2. And Sarah died in Kirjath-arba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan; and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her. It appears from Joshua 14:15 and Judges 1:10 that Hebron, one of... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Genesis 23:3-9

Abraham Negotiates for a Burial-Place. v. 3. And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying, v. 4. I am a stranger and a sojourner with you; give me a possession of a burying-place with you that I may bury my dead out of my sight. That Abraham observed the usual period of mourning did not in any way conflict with his faith. Sarah had been his wife, a believer in the true God, in spite of all her weaknesses, the mother of all believing women. He had loved... read more
