@~
The Cave of the Patriarchs or Tomb of the Patriarchs, known to Jewish as the Cave of Machpelah (Hebrew: hamakhepelah מערת המכפלה mearatt, trans. "cave of the double tombs" or "cave of the double caves")
族長洞穴或族長之墓，猶太人稱為Machpelah洞穴（希伯來語：מערת מכפלה，，是「雙墓葬的洞穴」或「 雙洞洞穴」）

創49:29他又囑咐他們說：「我將要歸到我列祖（原文作本民）那裡，你們要將我葬在赫人以弗崙田間的洞裡，與我祖我父在一處，30就是在迦南地幔利前、麥比拉田間的洞；那洞和田是亞伯拉罕向赫人以弗崙買來為業，作墳地的。
29 And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite, 30 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以弗崙 the Hittite赫人 for a possession of a burying place.

※The friend of God那位上帝的朋友

*The true hero of the Book of Genesis is a righteous shepherd named Abraham. He is the first person in the Bible to enter the promised land. He is also the first person in the Bible to have a personal relationship with God. For this reason, the Lord forever will refer to his chosen people of Israel as "descendants of Abraham my friend" (Isaiah 41:8).
「創世記」中的真正英雄是一位名叫亞伯拉罕的牧羊義人。他是聖經中第一個進入應許之地「迦南」的人。他也是聖經中第一個與上帝建立個人關係的人。因此，主永遠將他所揀選的真以色列人稱為「我朋友亞伯拉罕的後裔」（以賽亞書41：8）。

※The meaning of Hebron
*In Genesis chapter 23, Abrahams beloved wife Sarah dies at the ripe old age of 127. Abraham purchases a modest burial plot in the Land of Canaan in a place called Kiryat Arba. This is the first piece of property in Canaan lawfully acquired by a Hebrew.
在創世紀第23章，亞伯拉罕的愛妻莎拉高壽127歲時去世。亞伯拉罕在迦南地的一個名叫基列亞巴的地方購買了一個合適的墓地。這是迦南第一塊被希伯來人合法取得的財產。

@~
Genesis 23:2 And Sarah died in Kirjath–arba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
2撒拉死在迦南地的基列亞巴，就是希伯崙。亞伯拉罕為他哀慟哭號。
Kirjath–arba： בְּקִרְיַ֥ת אַרְבַּ֛ע
(7153) קִרְיַת אַרְבַּע
קרית הארבּע קרית ארבּע qiryath arba‛ qiryath hâarba‛ (keer-yath) ar-bah, haw-ar-bah
Kirjath-arba = "city of Arba"
1. early name of the city which after the conquest was called Hebron

*Abraham renames the place Hebron. The name Hebron (חברון) comes from the Hebrew root HBR (חבר), which means friend, חבר(khaver) haver, in Hebrew, Abrahams divinely given title.
亞伯拉罕將基列亞巴改名希伯倫。Hebron（חברון）這個名字來自希伯來語根HBR（חבר），希伯來語意思是「朋友」，是亞伯拉罕(157) אָהַב神聖的頭銜「上帝的『朋友』」。

※Become a friend of the Hebrew Bible
Many centuries later, another humble shepherd named David would become the greatest king of Israel. Where do you think David chose to rule from? Given its sacred status as the city founded by the "friend of God",
許多世紀之後，另一位名叫大衛的卑微牧羊人將成為以色列最偉大的國王。鑑於其做為由「上帝的朋友」建立的城市的神聖地位，你認為大衛會選擇在哪裡當首都？

*Hebron was the only realistic option.
「希伯崙」是實際可行的選項。

代上 11:1以色列眾人聚集到希伯崙見大衛，說：「我們原是你的骨肉。
4大衛和以色列眾人到了耶路撒冷，就是耶布斯；那時耶布斯人住在那裡。5耶布斯人對大衛說：「你決不能進這地方。」然而大衛攻取錫安的保障，就是大衛的城。

of David：דָּוִ֑יד
(1732) דָּוִד
דּויד דּוד dâvid dâvı̂yd daw-veed, daw-veed
David = "beloved"
From the same as (1730 דּד דּודdôd dôd dode, dode) = (friend,beloved, love,)
~
1 Chronicles 15:1 And David made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.
代上 15:1大衛在大衛城為自己建造宮殿，又為神的約櫃預備地方，支搭帳幕。
代上 11:7大衛住在保障裡，所以那保障叫作大衛城。
7 And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David.
