Genesis 23

Abraham was the heir of Shem^[1] Abram had departed^[2] from cities ^[3] and learned to walk in righteousness and faith. He chose not eat the dainties of the city states.^[4] He was not of the evil the way of Sodom nor Nimrod's Babylon and his altars formed the social bonds of liberty. Abraham formed a free "Polis" through a network of Altars funded by freewill sacrifice that strengthen the bands of a free society like Moses through the practice of pure Religion?

V2 "the same is Hebron(חֶבְר֖וֹן ḥebrōwn)^[5] in the land of Canaan:"
Kirjatharba aka Hebron are the result of a league, confederation, or alliance.
"Originally it was named Kirjath-arba, and though Arba is called “the father of Anak(קנַעָ chain)” (Joshua 15:13), yet the literal meaning City of Four (arba being the Hebrew numeral four)..." Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers
Cities were the result of agreement banned by the Ten Commandments for Israel because they lead to a centralization of power. We can see this in numerous studies of the Cauldron, flesh pots, cities of blood^[3] and the dainties offered at those tables of welfare state that are a snare and a trap.
V2 "and Abraham came to mourn (לִסְפֹּ֥ד lispōd)^[6] "For thus saith the LORD Enter not into the house of mourning neither go to lament nor bemoan them for I have taken away my peace from this people saith the LORD even lovingkindness and mercies" Jeremiah 16:5

What was "Abraham" really doing? Abraham was learning to walk in faith. The lessons and temptations of Abraham would help him understand more and more about the Smoking furnace and a burning lamp of his original vision of Genesis 15 verse 17.
That understanding like the tree of life is spiritual.,
V3 And Abraham stood up (wayyāqām וַיָּ֙קָם֙)^[7] from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth ^[8], saying,
V3 "spake unto the sons of Heth ^[8]" Who are the sons of Heth? They were the תחֵ ChetTav ‭from 02865‎ chathath ‎ חָתַת‎ Chet double Tav. The single Tav suggest they have some faith, though it be not yet in Spirit and Truth. Even the word we see for fear in 1 Samuel 11:7 "the fear of the LORD contains the letter Chet suggesting the "The Life Force - cause and effect"^[9]
Stood up and bowed V7 "Abraham stood up (wayyāqām וַיָּ֙קָם֙ which is VavYodKufMem in stead of the root KufVavMem)^[7]" which suggest the divine spark gave him the authority to stand up. But it also says he "bowed himself (wayyištaḥū וַיִּשְׁתַּ֥חוּ VavYodShinTavHeyVav)^[10] " includes the Yod and a Tav. So is that saying he stood by the "divine spark" of revelation but bowed with faith in humility.
Moses would stand up and set the captives free as a servant rather than a master.
Jesus would stand up to set the captive free and yet coming as a servant who even washed feet.

What was the "House of Abraham"? How does it differ from the modern "Abraham House"?^[13]
The modern charitable foundation called "Abraham House" wants "corporate leaders to drive positive social change." It wants "to harness the collective power of global leaders to promote peace..."^[14] Rome promoted peace through the Pax Romana which was not the peace of Abraham nor Christ but peace through power.
They "cry peace, peace" but there is none.^[15] How does it relate to the gospel of the Kingdom? What is the kingdom of God and what is the Church or ekklesia of Christ? Who should clarify for us what is true and what is not? Is it a matter of knowledge or revelation?
Questions
Why did Abraham not want to live in a city-state?
Why did Lot insist upon living in the city-state in Genesis 19?
Why did Bera king of Sodom see the people as human resources in Genesis 14:21?
What are the deeds God hate?^[16]
What is the corban of unrighteousness?
What is the Reward of unrighteousness? Is it the dainties of rulers provided through covetous practices^[17] applying to men who exercise authority one over the other which is idolatry?^[18]
Did Abram avoid agreements^[19] and debt^[20] with these men because their welfare was a snare and a trap as David and Paul stated and would make us merchandise and curse children as Peter said?

Sarah's Death and Burial

1 And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.

2 And Sarah died in Kirjatharba^[21] the same is Hebron(חֶבְר֖וֹן ḥebrōwn)^[5] in the land of Canaan:^[22] and Abraham came to mourn (לִסְפֹּ֥ד lispōd)^[6] for Sarah, and to weep^[23] for her.

3 And Abraham stood up (wayyāqām וַיָּ֙קָם֙ )^[7] from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth^[8], saying,

A stranger

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.

5 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,

6 Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.

Abraham stood and bowed

7 And Abraham stood up (wayyāqām וַיָּ֙קָם֙ )^[7], and bowed himself (wayyištaḥū וַיִּשְׁתַּ֥חוּ)^[10] to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.

8 And he communed 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,

9 That he may give me the cave of Machpelah (הַמַּכְפֵּלָה֙ ), 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.

Ephron dwelt

10 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,

11 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.

Abraham bowed

12 And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land.

13 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.

Ephron answered

14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,

15 My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee?^[24] bury therefore thy dead.

Measured current money

16 And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, ^[25] which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.^[26]

17 And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah(בַּמַּכְפֵּלָ֔ה), 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

18 Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.

Buried before Memre

19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah(הַמַּכְפֵּלָ֛ה)^[27] before Mamre:^[28] the same is Hebron^[5] in the land of Canaan.

Cities of blood
Exodus 16:3 "And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, [and] when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger."

Genesis 11:4 "And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top [may reach] unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."

Jeremiah 26:15 "But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears."

Isaiah 45:13 "I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts."

Ezekiel 11:3 "Which say, [It is] not near; let us build houses: this [city is] the caldron, and we [be] the flesh."

Ezekiel 7:23 "Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence."

Ezekiel 9:9 "Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah [is] exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not."

Ezekiel 11:11 "This [city] shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; [but] I will judge you in the border of Israel:"

Ezekiel 22:2 "Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations. 3 Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself."

Ezekiel 24:6... "Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum [is] therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it... 9 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great."

Hosea 6:8 "Gilead [is] a city of them that work iniquity, [and is] polluted with blood."

Micah 3:9 "Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity. 10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. 11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, [Is] not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us. 12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed [as] a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest. -- Micah 4:1 But in the last days it shall come to pass, [that] the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it."

Habakkuk 2:8 “‭Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein... ‭12 Woe to him that buildeth a 'town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!”
- The frequent reference to cities of blood, flesh pots, and a civil cauldron (i.e. One purse) often is associated with a "harlot in the city" as we saw in Amos 7:17, but in Nahum 3:4 it says she "selleth nations through her whoredoms" that is Babylon. These are the systems of legal charity that provide a social welfare through governments that exercise authority one over the other entangling the masses in covetous practices which are traps and a snares and makes the word of God to none effect.

Ezekiel 22:2 "Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations."

Micah 3:3 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.

Psalms 26:9 "Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:"

Psalms 5:6 "Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man."

- For it is written that the tables of dainties provided by rulers of the world are a snare because they cause the masses to bite one another through government systems of legal charity which are covetous practices which are a form of fornication or adultery where the people are devoured as merchandise, curse children and are "entangled again in the yoke of bondage" with the aid of the false religion of the whore who rides the beast.

Just payment
Leviticus 19:36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
- "Money is the just medium and measure of all commutable things, for, by the medium of money, a convenient and just estimation of all things is made."?
  Maxim: "Moneta est justum medium et mensura rerum commutabilium, nam per meduim monetae fit omnium rerum conveniens, et justa aestimatio." Dav. 18. See 1 Bouv. Inst. n. 922.
- "There is a distinction between a `debt discharged' and a `debt paid.' When discharged the debt still exists though divested of its character as a legal obligation during the operation of the discharge. Something of the original vitality of the debt continues to exist, which may be transferred, even though the transferee takes it subject to its disability incident to the discharge. The fact that it carries something which may be a consideration for a new promise to pay, so as to make an otherwise worthless promise a legal obligation, makes it the subject of transfer by assignment." Stanek v. White. 172 Minn. 390, 215 N. W. 784.
- "Thus, it is clear that, as a result of HJR 192 and from that day forward (June 5, 1933), no one has been able to pay a debt. The only thing they can do is tender in transfer of debts, and the debt is perpetual." Understanding the Impact of HJR-192: Suspension of the Gold.
While these terms are used interchangeably, "lawful money" has a broader meaning than "legal tender".

Genesis 13:2 And Abram [was] very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

Genesis 23:16 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.

Ezra 8:25 And weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, [even] the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel [there] present, had offered:

Exodus 20:23 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.

For it is written that the tables of dainties provided by rulers of the world are a snare because they cause the masses to bite one another through government systems of legal charity which are covetous practices which are a form of fornication or adultery where the people are devoured as merchandise, curse children and are "entangled again in the yoke of bondage" with the aid of the false religion of the whore who rides the beast.

[moneypay-24] Just payment
Leviticus 19:36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.

"Money is the just medium and measure of all commutable things, for, by the medium of money, a convenient and just estimation of all things is made."?
Maxim: "Moneta est justum medium et mensura rerum commutabilium, nam per meduim monetae fit omnium rerum conveniens, et justa aestimatio." Dav. 18. See 1 Bouv. Inst. n. 922.

"There is a distinction between a `debt discharged' and a `debt paid.' When discharged the debt still exists though divested of its character as a legal obligation during the operation of the discharge. Something of the original vitality of the debt continues to exist, which may be transferred, even though the transferee takes it subject to its disability incident to the discharge. The fact that it carries something which may be a consideration for a new promise to pay, so as to make an otherwise worthless promise a legal obligation, makes it the subject of transfer by assignment." Stanek v. White. 172 Minn. 390, 215 N. W. 784.

"Thus, it is clear that, as a result of HJR 192 and from that day forward (June 5, 1933), no one has been able to pay a debt. The only thing they can do is tender in transfer of debts, and the debt is perpetual." Understanding the Impact of HJR-192: Suspension of the Gold.

While these terms are used interchangeably, "lawful money" has a broader meaning than "legal tender".

[Paysilv-25] Paying substance
Genesis 13:2 And Abram [was] very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

Genesis 24:35 And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.

Genesis 23:16 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.

Ezra 8:25 And weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, [even] the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel [there] present, had offered:

Exodus 20:23 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.

Exodus 32:3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which [were] in their ears, and brought [them] unto Aaron.

Proverbs 1:14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

Proverbs 3:9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

[jmeasure-26] Just measure of money
Leviticus 19:15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: [but] in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

Leviticus 19:35 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.

Leviticus 19:36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.

Deuteronomy 25:13 ¶ Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.

Deuteronomy 25:14 Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.

Deuteronomy 25:15 [But] thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Deuteronomy 25:16 For all that do such things, [and] all that do unrighteously, [are] an abomination unto the LORD thy God.

Proverbs 11:1 ¶ A false balance [is] abomination to the LORD: but a just weight [is] his delight.

Isaiah 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
