The Bible Says
创世记 23:10-11 含义

赫人以弗仑也出席了这次会议,因为他正坐在赫人中间。

弗仑大声清晰地回答亚伯拉罕赫人都听见了。事实上,所有进入城门的人都听见了以弗仑对亚伯拉罕的回答。这说明会议在哪里举行:城门在古代世界,城门是一个会议场所。公民和商业活动都在那里进行:购买、交易或判决。这是一个公共场所,也是社区中任何人达成交易和解决争端的便利地点。有趣的是,我们被告知这是他的城市,指的是以弗仑。他显然是一个富有、有权势的人。

以弗仑的回答被描述为公开的,并有许多人站在门口见证, “不,我主,请听我说;我把这块田给你,我也把田间的洞给你。在我族人面前,我把它给你;埋葬你的死者吧。”

当时在场的以弗仑族人中许多人,这是为了强调这种互动的合法性和公开性。法律交易依靠的是公众见证,而不是书面合同,而城门是进行此类交易的传统场所。我们在《路得记》中看到波阿斯赎回拿俄米的财产(路得记 4)。

以弗仑夸耀自己慷慨大方,愿意把田地洞穴送给亚伯拉罕作为礼物。这很可能是当时传统的讨价还价方式。

亚伯拉罕没有接受这个提议。从当地文化来看,接受这个提议可能令人反感。在下文中,我们可以看到,他坚定地想要买下这块土地,完成谈判。我们接下来会看到,亚伯拉罕并没有真正讨价还价,而是接受了要价。这可能是他受到当地居民尊敬的原因之一。
