וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹֽר
Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
בֶּן־אָדָם הִנְנִי לֹקֵחַ מִמְּךָ אֶת־מַחְמַד עֵינֶיךָ בְּמַגֵּפָה וְלֹא תִסְפֹּד וְלֹא תִבְכֶּה וְלוֹא תָבוֹא דִּמְעָתֶֽךָ
’Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke; yet neither shalt thou make lamentation nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.
הֵאָנֵק דֹּם מֵתִים אֵבֶל לֹֽא־תַֽעֲשֶׂה פְאֵֽרְךָ חֲבוֹשׁ עָלֶיךָ וּנְעָלֶיךָ תָּשִׂים בְּרַגְלֶיךָ וְלֹא תַעְטֶה עַל־שָׂפָם וְלֶחֶם אֲנָשִׁים לֹא תֹאכֵֽל
Sigh in silence; make no mourning for the dead, bind thy headtire upon thee, and put thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thine upper lip, and eat not the bread of men.’
וָאֲדַבֵּר אֶל־הָעָם בַּבֹּקֶר וַתָּמָת אִשְׁתִּי בָּעָרֶב וָאַעַשׂ בַּבֹּקֶר כַּאֲשֶׁר צֻוֵּֽיתִי
So I spoke unto the people in the morning, and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלַי הָעָם הֲלֹֽא־תַגִּיד לָנוּ מָה־אֵלֶּה לָּנוּ כִּי אַתָּה עֹשֶֽׂה
And the people said unto me: ‘Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?’
