Torah Class & Study: Burial vs Cremation || Funerals, Coffins, Embalming, and the Business of Death

Genesis 23 (NASB) ~ Now Sarah lived 127 years; these were the years of the life of Sarah. Sarah died in Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan; and Abraham came in to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her. Then Abraham arose from mourning before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying, “I am a stranger and a foreign resident among you; give me a burial site among you so that I may bury my dead out of my sight.” The sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him, “Hear us, my lord: you are a mighty prince among us; bury your dead in the choicest of our graves; none of us will refuse you his grave for burying your dead

Straitway Life Bible Commentary From a Hebrew Roots Perspective For 11/08/2022. What does a Hebrew Israelite or biblical Christian funeral look like?

Welcome one and all, friends, and saints of the Most High YAH. We greet you in the mighty name of Yahshua Messiah ( Jesus Christ ). We are a part of the Israel of God teaching the pure and unadulterated word of Almighty Yahweh from both the Hebrew and New Testament scriptures. We are not a so-called sacred name group who never uses the name of Jesus Christ but we do pursue using the real Hebrew names of the Father and Son. Psalm 68:4 (NKJV) reads: "Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds by His name YAH, and rejoice before Him". By keeping His Torah as the Holy Spirit leads ( honoring His commands ) and imitating the living Torah ( Christ ), we show our love for our great Elohim. God's grace given to us through our savior Yahshua does not give us license to continue practicing sin ( the breaking of His laws ). 1 John 2:3-4 reads: "And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He that says I know Him, and keeps not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him". HalleluYAH

We use a variety of bible translations to help us better discover and understand the original intent of the author, the context of a bible passage, and the meaning of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. We embrace the weekly seventh day Shabbat ( sabbath day ) and annual holy days of Yahweh God, adhere to the dietary food laws, and guard the Torah seeking to understand and apply it more fully in light of what has been revealed through Jesus and the apostles in new testament scripture.
