Symbols and Similitudes: Mourning Forbidden
Source: Nav
Ezekiel 24:15–18
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, / “Son of man, behold, I am about to take away the desire of your eyes with a fatal blow. But you must not mourn or weep or let your tears flow. / Groan quietly; do not mourn for the dead. Put on your turban and strap your sandals on your feet; do not cover your lips or eat the bread of mourners.”
