This study shows that a close reading of all three poems in the light of their mourning ceremony setting displays a clear and consistent flow of thought. Purported cases of 'disruption' now fit into their present context as moments in which different mourners voice their pains and their questions aloud, and bring their incomprehensible sufferings to Yahweh their God and the creator of all.Journal for the study of the Old Testament.Supplement series ;302.Laments in the BibleJewish mourning customsMourning customsMiddle EastLaments in the Bible.Jewish mourning customs.Mourning customs224.306Pham Xuan Huong Thi1484565MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782257903321Mourning in the ancient Near East and the Hebrew Bible3703270UNINA
