Topic:Biblical Manner of Burying the Dead
Truthfully speaking,there are many and different ways people behave or act especially in different region and religion.
Other races have a pattern and a way the bury their death.
But looking at it biblically there's a specific pattern dead people were buried.
The Egyptians usually embalmed their dead people and put in a coffin,they put in much effort to show respect and love to their dead ones.
The Christians also have a pattern of wrapping their dead ones in a white linen clothes.
Genesis 50 : 26
So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
From the above scriptures Israelites followed the same pattern,the showed the respect to Joseph when he died,he was embalmed and put in a coffin.
Even our Lord Jesus Christ was buried the same way.
He was wrapped and buried in a grave near Jerusalem.
John 19 : 39-42
[39] And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. [40] Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. [41] Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. [42] There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
Though there are many and different patterns of Burying the death,but the above is the biblical way.
