10. A relative and one who is to prepare bodies for burial may come to get the bodies. One of them will take the bodies out to burn them. He will call to the other and ask, “Are there any other dead bodies with you?”That person will answer, “No.”Then the one who asked will say, “Hush! We must not speak the name of the Lord.”
