Commentary on Genesis John Calvin (continued)
Chapter 23
Genesis 23:1-20
1. And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.
1. Fuit autem vita Sarah centum anni et viginti anni et septem anni: anni vitae 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.
2. Et mortua Sarah in Cirjath — arbah: ipsa est Hebron in terra
Chenaan. Et venit Abraham ad plangendum super Sarah, et ad lugendam eam.
3. And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying,
3. Deinde surrexit Abraham a facie mortui sui, et loquutus est ad filios Heth, dicendo,
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.
4. Peregrinus et advena sum vobiscum: date mihi haereditatem sepulchri vobiscum: et sepeliam mortuum meum a facie mea.
