Genesis 23

So these are the generations of Isaac.

And we find out that Isaac and Rebecca, which was a really fun love story that we saw last time, see Genesis 23 and 25, I think.

24.

24.

That's right.

Genesis 23 and

24.

But here we find out that Rebecca is barren.

But I mean, I know enough about this to be able to give you basic pointers here.

So Sarah dies in Genesis 23.

Then we see...

So if you go there, the beginning of that passage reads as follows.

We just said it was Mesopotamia.

And we see it here where he says in Genesis 23, 4, God Almighty bless thee and make thee fruitful and multiply thee and they mayest multitude of people and give thee the blessings of Abraham.

And to thee I will send thee with seed that thou mayest inherit whatever wherein thou are a stranger.

You're going to inherit a lot, Jacob, which God gave to Abraham.

that god or el shaddai adonai makes this deal before so so the i guess the point to that is i will bless you this is where you need to i will make you a great what nation a goy so back in genesis 12 goy nations everybody together that's that's isaac that's jacob that's esau that's ishmael i mean It is Abraham.

It's everybody.

Now we get this point in Genesis 23 or 28, 3, where it says a different phrase.

What's that different phrase? It says kahil amin.

He told the Hittites to their faces, I am a stranger and a sojourner among you.

And that sentence in Genesis 23 is a real estate negotiation.

He is buying a burial plot for Sarah at full price because he has no inheritance rights.

But the verb the author of Hebrews uses for that declaration is the one that changes everything, homologes antis.
