| | <p> (the representative of many [[Hebrew]] words). [[Burning]] alive is a punishment of ancient date, which was not originated, though retained by Moses. Thus, when Judah was informed that his daughter-in-law [[Tamar]] was pregnant, he condemned her to be burnt ( Genesis 38:24), although the sentence was not executed. Burning was commanded to be inflicted on the daughters of priests who should prove unchaste ( Leviticus 21:9). and upon a man who should marry both the mother and the daughter ( Leviticus 20:14). The rabbins suppose that this burning consisted in pouring melted lead down the throat, a notion which may be considered as merely one of their dreams. Many ages afterward we find the [[Babylonians]] or Chaldaeans burning certain offenders alive ( Jeremiah 29:22 ; Daniel 3:6), and this mode of punishment was not uncommon in the East, even in the seventeenth century. Sir J. Chardin says, "During the dearth in 1688, I saw ovens heated on the royal square in Ispahan to terrify the bakers, and deter them from deriving advantage from the general distress." (See [[Punishment]]). </p> <p> Burning at the stake has in all ages been the frequent fate of [[Christian]] martyrs (q.v.). (See Auto-Da-Fe). </p> |
