“They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.”
They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth; and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them—the exposure of the dead to animals, with birds and beasts feeding on corpses throughout the year. The year-round feeding emphasizes the abundance of corpses. This verse depicts the horror of unburied dead.
