🌙 Mourning beside Deuteronomy 34:8
When mourning is loud, Deuteronomy 34:8 is a sentence you can borrow. “The children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the days of weeping in the mourning for Moses were ended.” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.
