Or, the verse may be read, being an husband among his people, he shall not defile himself for his wife, etc. "Sonª of man,ª behold,¹ I take awayª° from¹ thee¹ the desireª of thine eyesª with a stroke:ª yet neither¹ shalt thou mournª° nor¹ weep,ª° neither¹ shall thy tearsª run down.ª° ... Forbearª° to cry,ª° makeª° no¹ mourningª for the dead,ª° bindª° the tire of thine headª upon¹ thee, and put onª° thy shoesª upon thy feet,ª and coverª° not¹ [thy] lips,ª and eatª° not¹ the breadª of men.²¹" {Ezk 24:16-17} |
