F.O.G MSG

¹²As they approached the town gate, they encountered a funeral processionᵈ. A young man had died—the only son of his mother, who was a widow. This meant she had lost everything: her husband, her only child, and her financial security. A substantial crowd from the town was with her, sharing in her grief.

Footnotes:

¹²ᵈ Funeral procession: Jewish burials typically happened the same day as death. The body would be carried on an open bier to the burial site outside the city walls.
