It was even looked upon as a great disrespect for any one not to be bewailed at his funeral. Job says of the wicked man, "His widow shall not weep" (Job 27:15). The Psalmist, speaking of the death of [[Hophni]] and Phinehas, says, " Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation" (Psalms 78:64). | <p> (בְּכַי, κλαίω ).
