New York. 1870. </p> | <li> [[Penitential]] mourning, by the [[Israelites]] on the day of atonement (Leviticus 23:27; Acts 27:9 ); under Samuel's ministry (1 Samuel 7:6 ); predicted in Zechariah (Zechariah 12:10,11 ); in many of the psalms (51, etc.). <p> [[Mourning]] was expressed, (1) by weeping (Genesis 35:8 , marg.; Luke 7:38 , etc.); (2) by loud lamentation (Ruth 1:9; 1 Samuel 6:19; 2 Samuel 3:31 ); (3) by the disfigurement of the person, as rending the clothes (Genesis 37:29,34; Matthew 26:65 ), wearing sackcloth (Genesis 37:34; [[Psalm]] 35:13 ), sprinkling dust or ashes on the person (2 Samuel 13:19; Jeremiah 6:26; Job 2:12 ), shaving the head and plucking out the hair of the head or beard (Leviticus 10:6; Job 1:20 ), neglect of the person or the removal of ornaments (Exodus 33:4; Deuteronomy 21:12,13; 2 Samuel 14:2; 19:24; Matthew 6:16,17 ), fasting (2 Samuel 1:12 ), covering the upper lip (Leviticus 13:45; Micah 3:7 ), cutting the flesh (Jeremiah 16:6,7 ), and sitting in silence (Judges 20:26; 2 Samuel 12:16; 13:31; Job 1:20 ). </p> <p> In the later times we find a class of mourners who could be hired to give by their loud lamentation the external tokens of sorrow (2 Chronicles 35:25; Jeremiah 9:17; Matthew 9:23 ). </p> <p> The period of mourning for the dead varied. For [[Jacob]] it was seventy days (Genesis 50:3 ); for [[Aaron]] (Numbers 20:29 ) and [[Moses]] (Deuteronomy 34:8 ) thirty days; and for [[Saul]] only seven days (1 Samuel 31:13 ). In 2 Samuel 3:31-35 , we have a description of the great mourning for the death of Abner. </p> <div> <p> [[Copyright]] StatementThese dictionary topics are from M.G.

<p> <em> 'Âbal </em> (אָבַל, Strong'S #56), “to mourn, lament.” This word is common to both ancient and modern Hebrew. [[Found]] in the [[Hebrew]] Old [[Testament]] 39 times, <em> 'âbal </em> is used in the simple, active verbal form primarily in poetry, and usually in a figurative sense. When it is used of mourning for the dead in a literal sense, the word is found in prose sections and in the reflexive form, indicating action back on the subject. It first occurs in Gen. 37:34: “And [[Jacob]] … mourned for his son many days.” </p> <p> When used in the figurative sense, <em> 'âbal </em> expresses “mourning” by gates (Isa. 3:26), by the land (Isa. 24:4), and by pastures (Amos 1:2). In addition to mourning for the dead, “mourning” may be over [[Jerusalem]] (Isa. 66:10), over sin (Ezra 10:6), or over God’s judgment (Exod. 33:4). One may pretend to be a mourner (2 Sam. 14:2) simply by putting on mourning clothes. </p> | |||

<p> MOURN, L. maereo. </p> 1. To express grief or sorrow to grieve to be sorrowful. [[Mourning]] may be expressed by weeping or audible sounds, or by sobs, sighs or inward silent grief. <p> [[Abraham]] came to mourn for [[Sarah]] and to weep. [[Genesis]] 23 </p> <p> Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5 </p> 2. To wear the customary habit of sorrow. <p> We mourn in black. </p> <p> [[Grieve]] for an hour perhaps, then mourn a year. </p> <p> MOURN, To grieve for to lament. But there is an ellipsis of for, the verb not being transitive. When we say, we mourn a friend or a child, the real sense and complete phrase is, we mourn for a friend, or mourn for the loss of a friend. "He mourn'd his rival's success," that is,he mourned for his rival's success. </p> 1. To utter in a sorrowful manner. <p> The love lorn nightingale </p> <p> Nightly to thee her sad song mourneth well. </p> | |||
