1 | First in a tomb - important? | Luke 23:53 | CDBJ | 78978 | ||
I have heard that it was the custom of the Jews when a tomb was hewn out of the rock that the body would only resided in the tomb until it would decompose. The bones were then removed to a final resting place under ground and another corps would be placed in the above ground tomb and the process would start over. I don't know how true it is but I can understand why they would do it that way in that area. | ||||||
2 | First in a tomb - important? | Luke 23:53 | Mommapbs | 79056 | ||
Greetings CDBJ!thanks for your reply. As I have been mulling this over, I came across these verses: 'The priest who is the highest among his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil has been poured and who has been consecrated to wear the garments, shall not uncover his head nor tear his clothes; nor shall he approach any dead person, nor defile himself even for his father or his mother;Lev 21:10-11 Psalm 16:10 "For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo (see) decay." "And he took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had ever lain." Luke 23:53 Since Jesus is our Great High Priest, does it seem feasible that these verses provide the reason that His body was placed in a "clean" or never-used tomb? mommapbs |

Hi mommapbs, Your comparison of Luke 23:53 with Psalm 16 suggests to me verse 8, "I have set the Lord continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore, my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; my flesh also will dwell securely. For (Thou) wilt not abandon my soul to Sheol;..." I compare that with Isaiah 53:8 which says in part, "Yet (He) was with a rich man in His death." Matthew 26:11, "For the poor you have with you always; but you do not always have (Me). For when she poured this perfume upon My body, she did it to prepare Me for burial." I like the idea of this Living One going ahead for us, preparing a place for us, and we continually place the Lord before us. Isaiah 53:12b, "Because He poured out (Himself) to death, And was numbered with the transgressors; Yet He Himself bore the sin of many, And interceded for the transgressors." The parentheses are mine for comparison. He is our great High Priest interceding for us. From the heart, Ray |

Good day Ray! I always wondered what Jesus meant when He said, "she did it to prepare Me for burial." Matthew 26:11 Is this because Jesus' body was not annointed after death, prior to being placed in the tomb (due to the hour and Jewish laws)? See Luke 23:53-24:1 Also, see my question on Isaiah 53:9! Blessings to you and yours - mommapbs |

Hi mommapbs, You have made the connection that I have made sometime through the years. (Still penciled in). Luke 23:55,56, "Now the women who had come to Him out of Galilee folowed after, and saw the tomb and how (His) body was laid. And they returned and prepared spices and PERFUMES." Matthew 26:11, "For the poor you have with you always; but you do not always have (Me). For when she poured this PERFUME..." The parentheses are of course mine for comparisons. Isaiah 53:9, "Yet (He) was with a rich man..." Isaiah 53:9, "...because He poured out (Himself) to death, And was numbered with the transgressors;..." From the heart, Ray |
