The Cave OF Machpelah, Resting Place OF Israel’s Patriarchs

Genesis 13:14-18

AND THE LORD (GOD Almighty) SAID TO Abram, AFTER Lot Had Separated From Him (Abram): “Lift Your Eyes Now AND Look, From The Place Where YOU Are, Northward, Southward, Eastward, AND Westward; For ALL The Land, Which YOU SEE, I (GOD Almighty) GIVE TO YOU AND Your Descendants, FOREVER!  AND I WILL MAKE Your Descendants, AS The Dust OF The Earth; SO That, IF A Man Could Number The Dust OF The Earth, THEN Your Descendants Also Could BE Numbered.  ARISE, WALK IN THE LAND, THROUGH ITS Length AND ITS Width, FOR I (GOD Almighty) GIVE IT TO YOU.”  THEN, Abram Moved His Tent, AND Went AND Dwelt By The Terebinth Trees OF Mamre, Which ARE IN Hebron, AND BUILT AN ALTAR, THERE, TO THE LORD (GOD Almighty).

Genesis 23:1-4, 14-20

Sarah Lived One Hundred AND Twenty-Seven (127) Years; THESE WERE The Years OF The Life OF Sarah.  SO, Sarah DIED IN Kirjath Arba (that is, Hebron), IN The Land OF Canaan, AND Abraham Came TO Mourn For Sarah AND TO WEEP FOR Her.  THEN, Abraham Stood Up, From Before His Dead, AND Spoke TO The Sons OF Heth, SAYING, “I AM A Foreigner AND A Visitor Among YOU.  Give Me Property, For A Burial Place Among YOU, That I May Bury My Dead Out OF My Sight.”

And Ephron Answered Abraham, Saying TO Him, “My Lord, Listen TO Me; The Land IS Worth Four Hundred (400) Shekels OF Silver.  What IS That Between YOU AND Me?  SO, Bury Your Dead.”  And Abraham Listened TO Ephron; AND Abraham Weighed Out The Silver For Ephron, Which He (Ephron) Had Named, IN The Hearing OF The Sons OF Heth, Four Hundred (400) Shekels OF Silver, Currency OF The Merchants.

SO, The Field OF Ephron, Which WAS IN Machpelah, Which WAS Before Mamre, The Field AND The Cave, Which WAS IN IT, AND ALL The Trees That WERE IN The Field, Which WERE WITHIN All The Surrounding Borders, WERE DEEDED TO Abraham (aka Abram) AS A Possession, IN The Presence OF The Sons OF Heth, Before All, Who Went IN AT The Gate OF His City.  AND AFTER THIS, Abraham Buried Sarah, His Wife, IN The Cave OF The Field OF Machpelah, Before Mamre (that is, Hebron) IN The Land OF Canaan.  SO, The Field AND The Cave That IS IN IT WERE DEEDED TO Abraham, By The Sons OF Heth, AS Property For A Burial Place.

Genesis 25:7-11

THIS IS The Sum OF The Years OF Abraham’s Life, Which He Lived: One Hundred AND Seventy-Five (175) Years.  THEN, Abraham (aka Abram) Breathed His Last AND DIED IN A Good Old Age, An Old Man AND Full OF Years, AND WAS Gathered TO His People.  AND His Sons, Isaac AND Ishmael Buried Him IN The Cave OF Machpelah, Which IS Before Mamre, IN The Field OF Ephron, The Son OF Zohar, The Hittite, The Field, Which Abraham Purchased From The Sons OF Heth. THERE, Abraham WAS Buried, AND Sarah, His Wife.  AND IT CAME TO PASS, AFTER The Death OF Abraham (aka Abram), THAT GOD (GOD Almighty) BLESSED His Son, Isaac.  AND Isaac Dwelt AT Beer Lahai Roi.

Genesis 32:24-32

THEN, Jacob WAS Left Alone; AND A MAN (GOD Almighty) WRESTLED WITH Him (Jacob), UNTIL The Breaking OF Day.  NOW, When HE (GOD Almighty) SAW That HE (GOD Almighty) Did NOT Prevail AGAINST Him (Jacob), HE (GOD Almighty) TOUCHED The Socket OF His Hip (Jacob’s Him); AND The Socket OF Jacob’s Hip WAS Out OF Joint, AS HE (GOD Almighty) WRESTLED WITH Him (Jacob).

AND HE (GOD Almighty) SAID, “LET ME GO, FOR THE DAY BREAKS.”  BUT, He (Jacob) SAID, “I Will NOT Let YOU GO, UNLESS YOU BLESS Me!”  SO, HE (GOD Almighty) SAID TO Him (Jacob), “WHAT IS YOUR NAME?”  He SAID, “Jacob.”  AND HE (GOD Almighty) SAID, “YOUR NAME SHALL NO LONGER BE CALLED JACOB, BUT ISRAEL; FOR YOU HAVE STRUGGLED WITH GOD AND WITH MEN, AND HAVE PREVAILED!”  THEN, Jacob ASKED, SAYING, “Tell Me Your Name, I Pray.”  AND HE (GOD Almighty) SAID, “WHY IS IT THAT YOU ASK ABOUT MY NAME?”  AND HE (GOD Almighty) BLESSED Him (Jacob/Israel) THERE.

SO, Jacob Called The Name OF The Place, Peniel: “For I Have SEEN GOD, Face TO Face, AND My Life IS PRESERVED.”  Just AS He (Jacob/Israel) Crossed Over Penuel, The Sun Rose ON Him, AND He Limped ON His Hip.  Therefore, TO This Day, The Children OF Israel Do NOT Eat The Muscle That Shrank, Which IS ON The Hip Socket, Because HE (GOD Almighty) TOUCHED The Socket OF Jacob’s Hip, IN The Muscle That Shrank.

Genesis 35:9-15

THEN, GOD (GOD Almighty) APPEARED TO Jacob, AGAIN, When He (Jacob) Came From Padan Aram, AND BLESSED Him (Jacob).  AND GOD SAID TO Him (Jacob), “YOUR NAME IS JACOB; YOUR NAME SHALL NOT BE CALLED JACOB, ANYMORE, BUT ISRAEL, SHALL BE YOUR NAME.”  SO, HE (GOD Almighty) CALLED His Name, Israel.

Also, GOD SAID TO Him (Jacob/Israel): “I AM GOD ALMIGHTY!  BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY; A NATION AND A COMPANY OF NATIONS, SHALL PROCEED FROM YOU, AND KINGS SHALL COME FROM YOUR BODY.  THE LAND, WHICH I GAVE ABRAHAM AND ISAAC, I GIVE TO YOU; AND TO YOUR DESCENDANTS, AFTER YOU, I GIVE THIS LAND.”

THEN, GOD (GOD Almighty) WENT UP From Him (Jacob/Israel), IN The Place, Where HE (GOD Almighty) TALKED WITH Him (Jacob/Israel).  SO, Jacob SET UP A Pillar, IN The Place, Where HE TALKED WITH Him, A Pillar OF Stone; AND He Poured A Drink Offering ON IT, AND He Poured Oil ON IT.  AND Jacob Called The Name OF The Place, Where GOD SPOKE WITH Him, Bethel.

Genesis 35:22b-26

Now, The Sons OF Jacob WERE Twelve: The Sons OF Leah WERE Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, AND Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, AND Zebulun; The Sons OF Rachel WERE Joseph AND Benjamin; The Sons OF Bilhah, Rachel’s Maidservant, WERE Dan AND Naphtali; AND The Sons OF Zilpah, Leah’s Maidservant, WERE Gad AND Asher.  THESE WERE The Sons OF Jacob, Who WERE BORN TO Him, IN Padan Aram.

Genesis 35:27-29

THEN, Jacob Came TO His Father, Isaac, AT Mamre, OR Kirjath Arba (that is, Hebron), Where Abraham AND Isaac HAD DWELT.  NOW, The Days OF Isaac WERE One Hundred AND Eighty (180) Years.  So, Isaac Breathed His Last AND DIED, AND WAS Gathered TO His People, Being Old AND Full OF Days.  AND His Sons, Esau AND Jacob Buried Him.

Genesis 47:7-10

THEN, Joseph Brought IN His Father, Jacob, AND SET Him Before Pharaoh; AND Jacob BLESSED Pharaoh.  Pharaoh SAID TO Jacob, “How Old Are YOU?”  And Jacob SAID TO Pharaoh, “The Days OF The Years OF My Pilgrimage Are One Hundred AND Thirty (130) Years; Few AND Evil Have Been The Days OF The Years OF My Life, AND They Have NOT Attained TO The Days OF The Years OF The Life OF My Fathers, IN The Days OF Their Pilgrimage.”  SO, Jacob BLESSED Pharaoh, AND Went Out From Before Pharaoh.

Genesis 49:29-33

THEN, He (Jacob) Charged Them AND SAID TO Them: “I AM TO BE Gathered TO My People; Bury Me WITH My Fathers IN The Cave, That IS IN The Field OF Ephron, The Hittite, IN The Cave, That IS IN The Field OF Machpelah, Which IS Before Mamre, IN The Land of Canaan, Which Abraham Bought WITH The Field OF Ephron, The Hittite, AS A Possession For A Burial Place.  THERE, They Buried Abraham AND Sarah, His Wife; THERE, They Buried Isaac AND Rebekah, His Wife; AND THERE, I Buried Leah.  The Field AND The Cave That IS There WERE Purchased From The Sons OF Heth.”  AND When Jacob Had Finished Commanding His Sons, He Drew His Feet Up INTO The Bed AND Breathed His Last, AND WAS Gathered TO His People.

Genesis 50:1-3, 12-13

THEN, Joseph Fell ON His Father’s Face, AND Wept Over Him (Jacob), AND Kissed Him (Jacob).  AND Joseph Commanded His Servants, The Physicians, TO EMBALM His Father (Jacob).  SO, The Physicians EMBALMED Israel (aka Jacob).  Forty (40) Days WERE Required For Him (Israel/Jacob), For Such Are The Days REQUIRED, For Those Who ARE EMBALMED; AND The Egyptians Mourned For Him (Israel/Jacob), Seventy (70) Days.

SO, His Sons Did For Him (Israel/Jacob) Just AS He Had Commanded Them.  For His Sons CARRIED Him (Israel/Jacob) TO The Land OF Canaan, AND Buried Him (Israel/Jacob) IN The Cave OF The Field OF Machpelah, Before Mamre, Which Abraham Bought WITH The Field, From Ephron, The Hittite, AS Property For A Burial Place.

Genesis 50:22, 24-26

SO, Joseph Dwelt IN Egypt, He AND His Father’s Household.  And Joseph Lived One Hundred AND Ten (110) Years.  And Joseph SAID TO His Brethren, “I AM Dying; But GOD (GOD Almighty) Will Surely Visit YOU, AND Bring YOU Out OF This Land, TO The Land OF Which, HE (GOD Almighty) SWORE TO Abraham, TO Isaac, AND TO Jacob.”  THEN, Joseph TOOK AN OATH, FROM The Children OF Israel, SAYING, “GOD WILL SURELY VISIT YOU, AND YOU SHALL CARRY UP MY BONES FROM HERE.”  SO, Joseph Died, Being One Hundred AND Ten (110) Years Old; AND They EMBALMED Him, AND He WAS PUT IN A Coffin, IN Egypt.

“SUDDENLY, We (Pre-Tribulation LIVING Believers) WILL BE NO MORE; FOR Jesus Christ HAS TRULY TAKEN Us!  AMEN!”
