4 And taking it up, he carried it in secret to his house, so that, after the sun had set, he might bury him cautiously.
5 And after he had hidden the body, he chewed his bread with mourning and fear,
6 remembering the word that the Lord spoke through the prophet Amos: 'Your feast days shall be turned into lamentation and mourning.'
7 Truly, when the sun had set, he went out, and he buried him.
8 Yet all his neighbors argued with him, saying: 'Now, an order was given to execute you because of this matter, and you barely escaped a death sentence, and again you are burying the dead?'
