“And a man’s uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the Lord.”
The image of a relative taking up the body to bring it out of the house and telling the man in the innermost parts of the house to keep quiet because the name of the LORD should not be mentioned indicates the futility and danger of the situation.
