Parashat Chayei Sarah חַיֵּי שָׂרָה

23:1And Sarah was a hundred and seven and twenty years old; these were the years of the life of Sarah.

Vayihyu ḥayei Sarah me'ah shanah ve'esrim shanah vesheva shanim shenei ḥayei Sarah.

אוַיִּֽהְיוּ֙ חַיֵּ֣י שָׂרָ֔ה מֵאָ֥ה שָׁנָ֛ה וְעֶשְׂרִ֥ים שָׁנָ֖ה וְשֶׁ֣בַע שָׁנִ֑ים שְׁנֵ֖י חַיֵּ֥י שָׂרָֽה׃

23:2And Sarah died in Kiryat-Arba (Kirjath-arba), which is Chevron (Hebron), in the land of Kena’an (Canaan); and Avraham (Abraham) came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.

Vatamat Sarah beKiryat Arba hi Ḥevron be'eretz Kena'an vayavo Avraham lispod leSarah velivkotah.

בוַתָּ֣מָת שָׂרָ֗ה בְּקִרְיַ֥ת אַרְבַּ֛ע הִ֥וא חֶבְר֖וֹן בְּאֶ֣רֶץ כְּנָ֑עַן וַיָּבֹא֙ אַבְרָהָ֔ם לִסְפֹּ֥ד לְשָׂרָ֖ה וְלִבְכֹּתָֽהּ׃

23:3And Avraham stood up from before his dead, and spoke unto the children of Chet (Heth), saying,

Vayakom Avraham me'al penei meto vayedaber el-benei-Ḥet lemor.

גוַיָּ֨קָם֙ אַבְרָהָ֔ם מֵעַ֖ל פְּנֵ֣י מֵת֑וֹ וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר אֶל־בְּנֵי־חֵ֖ת לֵאמֹֽר׃

23:4“I am a stranger and a sojourner with you; give me a possession of a burial place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.”

Ger-vetoshav anoḥi imaḥem tenu li aḥuzat-kever imaḥem ve'ekberah meti milefanay.

דגֵּֽר־וְתוֹשָׁ֥ב אָֽנֹכִ֖י עִמָּכֶ֑ם תְּנ֨וּ לִ֤י אֲחֻזַּת־קֶ֨בֶר֙ עִמָּכֶ֔ם וְאֶקְבְּרָ֥ה מֵתִ֖י מִלְּפָנָֽי׃

23:5And the children of Chet answered Avraham, saying unto him,

Vaya'anu venei-Ḥet et-Avraham lemor lo.

הוַיַּֽעֲנ֧וּ בְנֵי־חֵ֛ת אֶת־אַבְרָהָ֖ם לֵאמֹ֥ר לֽוֹ׃

23:6“Hear us, my lord: you are a mighty prince among us; in the choice of our tombs bury your dead. None of us shall withhold from you his tomb, but that you may bury your dead.”

Shema'enu adoni nesi Elohim atah betoḥenu bemivḥar kevareinu kevor et-meteḥa ish mimenu et-kivro lo-yiḥleh mimeḥa mikevor meteḥa.

ושְׁמָעֵ֣נוּ ׀ אֲדֹנִ֗י נְשִׂ֨יא אֱלֹהִ֤ים אַתָּה֙ בְּתוֹכֵ֔נוּ בְּמִבְחַ֣ר קְבָרֵ֔ינוּ קְבֹ֖ר אֶת־מֵתֶ֑ךָ אִ֣ישׁ מִמֶּ֔נּוּ אֶת־קִבְר֛וֹ לֹֽא־יִכְלֶ֥ה מִמְּךָ֖ מִקְּבֹ֥ר מֵתֶֽךָ׃

23:7And Avraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Chet.

Vayakom Avraham vayishtaḥu le'am-ha'aretz livnei-Ḥet.

זוַיָּ֧קָם אַבְרָהָ֛ם וַיִּשְׁתַּ֥חוּ לְעַם־הָאָ֖רֶץ לִבְנֵי־חֵֽת׃

23:8And he spoke with them, saying, “If it is your will that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Efron (Ephron) the son of Tzochar (Zohar),

Vayedaber itam lemor im-yesh et-nafsheḥem likbor et-meti milefanay shema'uni ufig'u-li be'Efron ben-Tzoḥar.

23:9that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which is at the end of his field; for the full price he shall give it to me among you for a possession of a burial place.”

Veyiten-li et-me'arat haMaḥpelah asher-lo asher biktzeh sadehu beḥesef male yitenenah li betoḥeḥem la'aḥuzat-kaver.

23:10And Efron dwelt among the children of Chet; and Efron the Chitti (Hittite) answered Avraham in the hearing of the children of Chet, of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,

Ve'Efron yoshev betoḥ benei-Ḥet vaya'an Efron haḤiti et-Avraham be'oznei venei-Ḥet leḥol ba'ei sha'ar-iro lemor.

23:11“No, my lord, hear me: the field I give you, and the cave that is in it, I give it to you; in the presence of the children of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead.”

Lo-adoni shema'eni hasadeh natati laḥ vehame'arah asher-bo leḥa netatiha le'einei venei-ami netatiha laḥ kevor meteḥa.

23:12And Avraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.

Vayishtaḥu Avraham lifnei am-ha'aretz.

יבוַיִּשְׁתַּ֨חוּ֙ אַבְרָהָ֔ם לִפְנֵ֖י עַם־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

23:13And he spoke unto Efron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying, “But if you will, I pray you, hear me: I will give you the money for the field; take it from me, and I will bury my dead there.”

Vayedaber el-Efron be'oznei am-ha'aretz lemor aḥ im-atah lu shema'eni natati kesef hasadeh kaḥ mimeni ve'ekberah et-meti shamah.

23:14And Efron answered Avraham, saying unto him,

Vaya'an Efron et-Avraham lemor lo.

ידוַיַּ֧עַן עֶפְר֛וֹן אֶת־אַבְרָהָ֖ם לֵאמֹ֥ר לֽוֹ׃

23:15“My lord, listen unto me: a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and you? Bury therefore your dead.”

Adoni shema'eni eretz arba me'ot shekel-kesef beini uveineḥa mah-hi ve'et-meteḥa kevor.

23:16And Avraham listened unto Efron; and Avraham weighed to Efron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the children of Chet, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.

Vayishma Avraham el-Efron vayishkol Avraham le'Efron et-hakesef asher diber be'oznei venei-Ḥet arba me'ot shekel kesef over lasoḥer.

23:17And the field of Efron, 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, that were in all its borders round about, were made sure

Vayakom sedeh Efron asher baMaḥpelah asher lifnei Mamre hasadeh vehame'arah asher-bo veḥol-ha'etz asher basadeh asher beḥol-gevulo saviv.

23:18unto Avraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Chet, before all who went in at the gate of his city.

Le'Avraham lemiknah le'einei venei-Ḥet beḥol ba'ei sha'ar-iro.

יחלְאַבְרָהָ֥ם לְמִקְנָ֖ה לְעֵינֵ֣י בְנֵי־חֵ֑ת בְּכֹ֖ל בָּאֵ֥י שַֽׁעַר־עִירֽוֹ׃

23:19And after this, Avraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre, which is Chevron, in the land of Kena’an.

Ve'aḥarei-ḥen kavar Avraham et-Sarah ishto el-me'arat sedeh haMaḥpelah al-penei Mamre hi Ḥevron be'eretz Kena'an.

23:20And the field, and the cave that is in it, were made sure unto Avraham for a possession of a burial place by the children of Chet.

Vayakom hasadeh vehame'arah asher-bo le'Avraham la'aḥuzat-kaver me'et benei-Ḥet.

24:1And Avraham was old, advanced in age; and Hashem had blessed Avraham in all things.

Ve'Avraham zaken ba bayamim va-Adonai beraḥ et-Avraham bakol.

אוְאַבְרָהָ֣ם זָקֵ֔ן בָּ֖א בַּיָּמִ֑ים וַֽיהֹוָ֛ה בֵּרַ֥ךְ אֶת־אַבְרָהָ֖ם בַּכֹּֽל׃

24:2And Avraham said unto his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Put, I pray you, your hand under my thigh;

Vayomer Avraham el-avdo zekan beito hamoshel beḥol-asher-lo sim-na yadeḥa taḥat yereḥi.

24:3and I will make you swear by Hashem, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Kena’ani (Canaanites), among whom I dwell;

Ve'ashbi'aḥa ba-Adonai elohei hashamayim velohei ha'aretz asher lo-tikaḥ ishah livni mibenot haKena'ani asher anoḥi yoshev bekirbo.

24:4but you shall go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Yitzchak (Isaac).”

Ki el-artzi ve'el-moladti teleḥ velakaḥta ishah livni leYitzḥak.

24:5And the servant said unto him, “Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land; must I then bring your son back unto the land from which you came?”

Vayomer elav ha'eved ulay lo-toveh ha'ishah laleḥet aḥaray el-ha'aretz hazot hehashev ashiv et-binḥa el-ha'aretz asher-yatzata misham.

24:6And Avraham said unto him, “Beware that you do not bring my son back there.

Vayomer elav Avraham hishamer leḥa pen-tashiv et-beni shamah.

24:7Hashem, the God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and who spoke unto me, and who swore unto me, saying, ‘Unto your seed will I give this land’—He shall send His angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.

24:8And if the woman will not be willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this my oath; only do not bring my son back there.”

24:9And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Avraham his master, and swore to him concerning that matter.

Vayasem ha'eved et-yado taḥat yereḥ Avraham adonav vayishava lo al-hadavar hazeh.

טוַיָּ֤שֶׂם הָעֶ֨בֶד֙ אֶת־יָד֔וֹ תַּ֛חַת יֶ֥רֶךְ אַבְרָהָ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֑יו וַיִּשָּׁ֣בַע ל֔וֹ עַל־הַדָּבָ֖ר הַזֶּֽה׃

24:10And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed, with all the goods of his master in his hand; and he arose, and went to Aram-Naharayim (Mesopotamia), unto the city of Nachor (Nahor).

Vayikaḥ ha'eved asarah gemalim migemalei adonav vayeleḥ veḥol-tuv adonav beyado vayakom vayeleḥ el-Aram Naharayim el-ir Naḥor.

24:11And he made his camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water.

Vayavreḥ hagemalim miḥutz la'ir el-be'er hamayim le'et erev le'et tzet hasho'avot.

24:12And he said, “O Hashem, God of my master Avraham, I pray You, send me good success this day, and show kindness unto my master Avraham.

Vayomar Adonai elohei adoni Avraham hakreh-na lefanay hayom va'aseh-ḥesed im adoni Avraham.

24:13Behold, I stand here by the spring of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water.

24:14And let it come to pass, that the maiden to whom I shall say, ‘Let down your pitcher, I pray you, that I may drink,’ and she shall say, ‘Drink, and I will give your camels drink also,’ let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Yitzchak; and by this shall I know that You have shown kindness unto my master.”

24:15And it came to pass, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rivkah (Rebekah) came out, who was born to Betu’el (Bethuel), son of Milkah (Milcah), the wife of Nachor, Avraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.

Vayehi-hu terem kilah ledaber vehineh Rivkah yotzet asher yuledah liVtu'el ben-Milkah eshet Naḥor aḥi Avraham veḥadah al-shiḥmah.

24:16And the maiden was very beautiful to look upon, a virgin, and no man had known her; and she went down to the spring, and filled her pitcher, and came up.

Vehana'arah tovat mar'eh me'od betulah ve'ish lo yeda'ah vatered ha'aynah vatemale ḥadah vata'al.

24:17And the servant ran to meet her, and said, “Let me, I pray you, drink a little water from your pitcher.”

Vayaratz ha'eved likratah vayomer hagmi'ini na me'at-mayim mikadeḥ.

24:18And she said, “Drink, my lord”; and she hurried, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.

Vatomer sheteh adoni vatemaher vatored kadah al-yadah vatashkehu.

יחוַתֹּ֖אמֶר שְׁתֵ֣ה אֲדֹנִ֑י וַתְּמַהֵ֗ר וַתֹּ֧רֶד כַּדָּ֛הּ עַל־יָדָ֖הּ וַתַּשְׁקֵֽהוּ׃

24:19And when she had finished giving him drink, she said, “I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.”

Vateḥal lehashkoto vatomer gam ligmaleḥa esh'av ad im-kilu lishtot.

24:20And she hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.

Vatemaher vate'ar kadah el-hashoket vataratz od el-habe'er lish'ov vatish'av leḥol-gemalav.

24:21And the man, wondering at her, held his peace, to know whether Hashem had made his journey prosperous or not.

Veha'ish mishta'eh lah maḥarish lada'at hahitzliaḥ Adonai darko im-lo.

כאוְהָאִ֥ישׁ מִשְׁתָּאֵ֖ה לָ֑הּ מַֽחֲרִ֕ישׁ לָדַ֗עַת הַֽהִצְלִ֧יחַ יְהֹוָ֛ה דַּרְכּ֖וֹ אִם־לֹֽא׃

24:22And it came to pass, as the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden nose ring of half a shekel in weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels’ weight of gold;

Vayehi ka'asher kilu hagemalim lishtot vayikaḥ ha'ish nezem zahav beka mishkalo ushenei tzemidim al-yadeha asarah zahav mishkalam.

24:23and said, “Whose daughter are you? Tell me, I pray you: is there room in your father’s house for us to lodge?”

Vayomer bat-mi at hagidi na li hayesh beit-aviḥ makom lanu lalin.

24:24And she said unto him, “I am the daughter of Betu’el the son of Milkah, whom she bore unto Nachor.”

Vatomer elav bat-Betu'el anoḥi ben-Milkah asher yaledah leNaḥor.

24:25She said moreover unto him, “We have both straw and fodder enough, and room to lodge.”

Vatomer elav gam-teven gam-mispo rav imanu gam-makom lalun.

24:26And the man bowed his head, and worshipped Hashem.

Vayikod ha'ish vayishtaḥu la-Adonai.

כווַיִּקֹּ֣ד הָאִ֔ישׁ וַיִּשְׁתַּ֖חוּ לַֽיהֹוָֽה׃

24:27And he said, “Blessed be Hashem, God of my master Avraham, who has not forsaken His kindness and His truth toward my master; as for me, being on the way, Hashem led me to the house of my master’s brothers.”

Vayomer baruḥ Adonai elohei adoni Avraham asher lo-azav ḥasdo va'amito me'im adoni anoḥi badereḥ naḥani Adonai beit aḥei adoni.

24:28And the maiden ran, and told her mother’s house about these things.

Vataratz hana'arah vataged leveit imah kadevarim ha'eleh.

24:29And Rivkah had a brother, and his name was Lavan (Laban); and Lavan ran out unto the man, unto the spring.

UleRivkah aḥ ushemo Lavan vayaratz Lavan el-ha'ish haḥutzah el-ha'ayin.

24:30And it came to pass, when he saw the nose ring, and the bracelets upon his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rivkah his sister, saying, “Thus the man spoke unto me,” that he came unto the man; and behold, he stood by the camels at the spring.

24:31And he said, “Come in, you blessed of Hashem; why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.”

Vayomer bo beruḥ Adonai lamah ta'amod baḥutz ve'anoḥi piniti habayit umakom lagemalim.

24:32And the man came into the house; and he unloaded the camels, and gave straw and fodder for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men who were with him.

24:33And food was set before him to eat; but he said, “I will not eat until I have told my errand.” And he said, “Speak on.”

24:34And he said, “I am Avraham’s servant.

24:35And Hashem has blessed my master greatly, and he has become great; and He has given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and donkeys.

24:36And Sarah my master’s wife bore a son to my master when she was old; and unto him he has given all that he has.

24:37And my master made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Kena’ani, in whose land I dwell;

24:41Then you shall be clear from my oath, when you come to my family; and if they do not give her to you, you shall be clear from my oath.’

24:42And I came this day unto the spring, and said, ‘O Hashem, God of my master Avraham, if now You will prosper my way on which I go,

24:43behold, I stand by the spring of water; and let it come to pass, that the young woman who comes forth to draw water, to whom I say, “Give me, I pray you, a little water from your pitcher to drink,”

24:44and she says to me, “Both drink, and I will also draw for your camels,” let her be the woman whom Hashem has appointed for my master’s son.’

24:45And before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rivkah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the spring, and drew water; and I said unto her, ‘Let me drink, I pray you.’

Ani terem aḥaleh ledaber el-libi vehineh Rivkah yotzet veḥadah al-shiḥmah vatered ha'aynah vatish'av va'omar eleha hashkini na.

24:46And she hurried, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, ‘Drink, and I will give your camels drink also’; so I drank, and she gave the camels drink also.

24:47And I asked her, and said, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ And she said, ‘The daughter of Betu’el, Nachor’s son, whom Milkah bore unto him.’ And I put the ring upon her nose, and the bracelets upon her hands.

Va'esh'al otah va'omar bat-mi at vatomer bat-Betu'el ben-Naḥor asher yaledah-lo Milkah va'asim hanezem al-apah vehatzemidim al-yadeha.

24:48And I bowed my head, and worshipped Hashem, and blessed Hashem, God of my master Avraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter for his son.

Va'ekod va'eshtaḥaveh la-Adonai va'avareḥ et-Adonai elohei adoni Avraham asher hinḥani bedereḥ emet lakaḥat et-bat-aḥi adoni livno.

24:49And now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me; and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.”

24:50Then Lavan and Betu’el answered and said, “The thing proceeds from Hashem; we cannot speak unto you bad or good.

Vaya'an Lavan uVetu'el vayomeru mei-Adonai yatza hadavar lo nuḥal daber eleḥa ra o-tov.

24:51Behold, Rivkah is before you; take her, and go, and let her be your master’s son’s wife, as Hashem has spoken.”

24:52And it came to pass, when Avraham’s servant heard their words, that he bowed himself to the earth unto Hashem.

Vayehi ka'asher shama eved Avraham et-divreihem vayishtaḥu artzah la-Adonai.

24:53And the servant brought forth vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and gave them to Rivkah; he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.

Vayotze ha'eved kelei-ḥesef uḥelei zahav uvegadim vayiten leRivkah umigdanot natan le'aḥiha ule'imah.

24:54And they ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and stayed all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, “Send me away unto my master.”

Vayoḥelu vayishtu hu veha'anashim asher-imo vayalinu vayakumu vaboker vayomer shaleḥuni ladoni.

24:55And her brother and her mother said, “Let the maiden stay with us a few days, at least ten; after that she shall go.”

24:56And he said unto them, “Do not delay me, seeing Hashem has prospered my way; send me away, that I may go to my master.”

Vayomer alehem al-te'aḥaru oti va-Adonai hitzliaḥ darki shaleḥuni ve'eleḥah ladoni.

24:57And they said, “We will call the maiden, and ask her own mouth.”

Vayomeru nikra lana'arah venish'alah et-piha.

24:58And they called Rivkah, and said unto her, “Will you go with this man?” And she said, “I will go.”

24:59And they sent away Rivkah their sister, and her nurse, and Avraham’s servant, and his men.

Vayeshaleḥu et-Rivkah aḥotam ve'et-meniktah ve'et-eved Avraham ve'et-anashav.

24:60And they blessed Rivkah, and said unto her, “Our sister, may you become thousands of ten thousands, and may your seed possess the gate of those who hate them.”

Vayevareḥu et-Rivkah vayomeru lah aḥotenu at hayi le'alfei revavah veyirash zar'eḥ et sha'ar sne'av.

24:61And Rivkah arose, and her maidens, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man; and the servant took Rivkah, and went his way.

Vatakom Rivkah vena'aroteha vatirkavnah al-hagemalim vatelaḥnah aḥarei ha'ish vayikaḥ ha'eved et-Rivkah vayelaḥ.

24:62And Yitzchak came from going to Be’er-Lachai-Ro’i (Beer-lahai-roi); for he dwelt in the land of the Negev (the south).

VeYitzḥak ba mibo Be'er Laḥai Ro'i vehu yoshev be'eretz haNegev.

24:63And Yitzchak went out to meditate in the field toward evening; and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and behold, camels were coming.

24:64And Rivkah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Yitzchak, she alighted from the camel.

24:65And she said unto the servant, “Who is this man who walks in the field to meet us?” And the servant said, “It is my master.” Therefore she took her veil, and covered herself.

24:66And the servant told Yitzchak all the things that he had done.

Vayesaper ha'eved leYitzḥak et kol-hadevarim asher asah.

24:67And Yitzchak brought her into the tent of Sarah his mother, and took Rivkah, and she became his wife; and he loved her. And Yitzchak was comforted after his mother.

Vayevi'eha Yitzḥak ha'ohelah Sarah imo vayikaḥ et-Rivkah vatehi-lo le'ishah vaye'ehaveha vayinaḥem Yitzḥak aḥarei imo.

25:1And Avraham again took a wife, and her name was Keturah.

Vayosef Avraham vayikaḥ ishah ushemah Keturah.

25:2And she bore him Zimran, and Yokshan (Jokshan), and Medan, and Midyan (Midian), and Yishbak (Ishbak), and Shu’ach (Shuah).

25:3And Yokshan begot Sheva (Sheba) and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Ashurim (Asshurim), and Letushim, and Le’ummim (Leummim).

25:4And the sons of Midyan: Eifah (Ephah), and Efer (Epher), and Chanoch (Hanoch), and Avida (Abidah), and Elda’ah (Eldaah). All these were the children of Keturah.

Uvenei Midyan Eifah va'Efer vaḤanoḥ va'Avida ve'Elda'ah kol-eleh benei Keturah.

25:5And Avraham gave all that he had unto Yitzchak.

Vayiten Avraham et-kol-asher-lo leYitzḥak.

25:6But unto the sons of the concubines whom Avraham had, Avraham gave gifts; and he sent them away from Yitzchak his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the land of the east.

25:7And these are the days of the years of Avraham’s life which he lived: a hundred and seventy and five years.

Ve'eleh yemei shenei-ḥayei Avraham asher-ḥay me'at shanah veshiv'im shanah veḥamesh shanim.

25:8Then Avraham breathed his last, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.

Vayigva vayamat Avraham beseivah tovah zaken vesavea vaye'asef el-amav.

25:9And his sons Yitzchak and Yishma’el (Ishmael) buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Efron the son of Tzochar the Chitti, which is before Mamre;

Vayikberu oto Yitzḥak veYishma'el banav el-me'arat haMaḥpelah el-sedeh Efron ben-Tzoḥar haḤiti asher al-penei Mamre.

25:10the field which Avraham purchased from the children of Chet; there was Avraham buried, and Sarah his wife.

25:11And it came to pass after the death of Avraham, that God blessed Yitzchak his son; and Yitzchak dwelt by Be’er-Lachai-Ro’i.

Vayehi aḥarei mot Avraham vayevareḥ Elohim et-Yitzḥak beno vayeshev Yitzḥak im-Be'er Laḥai Ro'i.

25:12Now these are the generations of Yishma’el, Avraham’s son, whom Hagar the Mitzrit (Egyptian), Sarah’s handmaid, bore unto Avraham.

25:13And these are the names of the sons of Yishma’el, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Yishma’el, Nevayot (Nebajoth); and Kedar, and Adbe’el (Adbeel), and Mivsam (Mibsam),

25:17And these are the years of the life of Yishma’el: a hundred and thirty and seven years; and he breathed his last and died, and was gathered unto his people.

1:1Now King David was old, advanced in years; and they covered him with garments, but he could not get warm.

Vehameleḥ David zaken ba bayamim vayeḥasuhu babegadim velo yiḥam lo.

אוְהַמֶּ֚לֶךְ דָּוִד֙ זָקֵ֔ן בָּ֖א בַּיָּמִ֑ים וַיְכַסֻּ֙הוּ֙ בַּבְּגָדִ֔ים וְלֹ֥א יִחַ֖ם לֽוֹ׃

1:2Therefore his servants said unto him, “Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin; and let her stand before the king, and let her be his attendant, and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may get warm.”

Vayomeru lo avadav yevakshu ladoni hameleḥ na'arah vetulah ve'amedah lifnei hameleḥ utehi-lo soḥenet veshaḥevah veḥeikeḥa veḥam ladoni hameleḥ.

1:3So they sought for a beautiful young woman throughout all the borders of Yisrael (Israel), and found Avishag (Abishag) the Shunamit (Shunammite), and brought her to the king.

Vayevakshu na'arah yafah beḥol gevul Yisra'el vayimtze'u et-Avishag haShunamit vayavi'u otah lameleḥ.

1:4And the young woman was very beautiful; and she was the king’s attendant, and served him; but the king did not know her.

Vehana'arah yafah ad-me'od vatehi lameleḥ soḥenet vatesharetehu vehameleḥ lo yeda'ah.

1:5Then Adoniyah (Adonijah) the son of Chaggit (Haggith) exalted himself, saying, “I will be king”; and he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.

Va'Adoniyah ven-Ḥagit mitnase lemor ani emloḥ vaya'as lo reḥev ufarashim vaḥamishim ish ratzim lefanav.

1:6And his father had never rebuked him in all his days, saying, “Why have you done so?” And he also was a very handsome man; and his mother bore him after Avshalom (Absalom).

Velo-atzavo aviv miyamav lemor madua kaḥah asita vegam-hu tov-to'ar me'od ve'oto yaledah aḥarei Avshalom.

1:7And he conferred with Yo’av (Joab) the son of Tzeruyah (Zeruiah), and with Evyatar (Abiathar) the priest; and they followed Adoniyah and helped him.

Vayihyu devarav im Yo'av ben-Tzeruyah ve'im Evyatar hakohen vaya'zeru aḥarei Adoniyah.

1:8But Tzadok (Zadok) the priest, and Benayahu (Benaiah) the son of Yehoyada (Jehoiada), and Natan (Nathan) the prophet, and Shim’i (Shimei), and Re’i (Rei), and the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adoniyah.

1:9And Adoniyah slaughtered sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zochelet (Zoheleth), which is by Ein-Rogel (En-rogel), and called all his brothers the king’s sons, and all the men of Yehudah (Judah), the king’s servants;

1:10but Natan the prophet, and Benayahu, and the mighty men, and Shlomo (Solomon) his brother, he did not call.

1:11Then Natan spoke unto Bat-Sheva (Bathsheba) the mother of Shlomo, saying, “Have you not heard that Adoniyah the son of Chaggit reigns, and David our lord does not know it?

Vayomer Natan el-Bat-Sheva em-Shelomoh lemor halo shama'at ki malaḥ Adoniyahu ven-Ḥagit va'adoneinu David lo yada.

1:12Now therefore come, let me, I pray you, give you counsel, that you may save your own life, and the life of your son Shlomo.

1:13Go and get in unto King David, and say unto him, ‘Did you not, my lord, O king, swear unto your handmaid, saying, “Surely Shlomo your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne”? Why then does Adoniyah reign?’

1:15And Bat-Sheva went in unto the king into the chamber; and the king was very old; and Avishag the Shunamit was serving the king.

1:25For he has gone down this day, and has slaughtered oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king’s sons, and the captains of the army, and Evyatar the priest; and behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, ‘Long live King Adoniyah!’
