<p> (בְּכַי, | <p> ( '''''בְּכַי''''' , '''''Κλαίω''''' ). The ancient Hebrews [[Wept]] and made their troubles to appear openly, in mourning and affliction; they were not of opinion that courage and greatness of soul consisted in seeming to be insensible in adversity, or in restraining their tears. 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). God forbids Ezekiel to weep or to express any sorrow for the death of his wife, to show that the [[Jews]] should be reduced to so great calamities that they should not have the liberty even to mourn or bewail themselves ( Ezekiel 24:16). (See Mourning Tears). </p> | ||
