It is a significant theme throughout the Scriptures, reflecting the human experience of suffering and the hope of divine comfort. Old Testament Context In the Old Testament, mourning is frequently depicted through various customs and rituals. The Israelites expressed their grief through weeping, wearing sackcloth, sprinkling ashes on their heads, fasting, and lamentation. <a href="/genesis/37-34.htm">Genesis 37:34</a> describes Jacob's mourning for his son Joseph: "Then Jacob tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and mourned for his son many days." Mourning was not only personal but also communal, as seen in the national lamentations over disasters or divine judgment (e.g., <a href="/joel/1-13.htm">Joel 1:13-14</a>). The book of Lamentations is a poignant example of mourning over the destruction of Jerusalem. The prophet Jeremiah laments, "How lonely lies the city, once so full of people! She who was great among the nations has become a widow" (<a href="/lamentations/1.htm">Lamentations 1:1</a>). Mourning in this context serves as a call to repentance and a reminder of God's justice and mercy. New Testament Context In the New Testament, mourning continues to hold spiritual significance. Jesus acknowledges the blessedness of those who mourn, promising comfort: "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted" (<a href="/matthew/5-4.htm">Matthew 5:4</a>). This beatitude highlights the paradox of mourning in the Christian life, where sorrow leads to divine consolation and hope. The New Testament also emphasizes mourning over sin and spiritual brokenness. <a href="/james/4-9.htm">James 4:9-10</a> urges believers to "grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you." This call to mourning is an invitation to repentance and humility before God. Mourning in Eschatological Hope The Bible presents mourning not as an end in itself but as a precursor to joy and restoration. The prophetic vision in <a href="/isaiah/61-2.htm">Isaiah 61:2-3</a> speaks of the Messiah's mission "to comfort all who mourn, to provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair." <a href="/revelation/21-4.htm">Revelation 21:4</a> offers the ultimate hope for those who mourn: "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away." This eschatological promise assures believers of a future where mourning is transformed into eternal joy in the presence of God. Cultural and Theological Implications Mourning in the biblical context is both a cultural practice and a theological expression. It acknowledges the reality of human suffering while pointing to the hope of redemption and restoration. The Bible encourages believers to mourn with those who mourn (<a href="/romans/12-15.htm">Romans 12:15</a>) and to find solace in God's promises. Mourning, therefore, becomes a means of drawing closer to God, experiencing His comfort, and anticipating the ultimate fulfillment of His redemptive plan.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>MourningOne marked feature of Oriental mourning is what may be called its studies publicity and the careful observance of the prescribed ceremonies.

(<a href="/isaiah/20-2.htm">Isaiah 20:2</a>; <a href="/isaiah/47-2.htm">47:2</a>) etc. (h) Fasting or abstinence in meat and drink.

(<a href="/leviticus/7-20.htm">Leviticus 7:20</a>; <a href="/deuteronomy/26-14.htm">26:14</a>) (k) Covering the "upper lip," i.e. the lower part of the face, and sometimes the head, in token of silence.

(<a href="/jeremiah/16-7.htm">Jeremiah 16:7,8</a>)</li> <li>The period of mourning varied. In the case of Jacob it was seventy days, (<a href="/genesis/50-3.htm">Genesis 50:3</a>) of Aaron, (<a href="/numbers/20-29.htm">Numbers 20:29</a>) and Moses, Deuteronomy 34:8 thirty. A further period of seven days in Jacob's case. (<a href="/genesis/50-10.htm">Genesis 50:10</a>) Seven days for Saul, which may have been an abridged period in the time of national danger. (<a href="/1_samuel/31-13.htm">1 Samuel 31:13</a>) With the practices above mentioned, Oriental and other customs, ancient and modern, in great measure agree. Arab men are silent in grief, but the women scream, tear their hair, hands and face, and throw earth or sand on their heads. Both Mohammedans and Christians in Egypt hire wailing-women, and wail at stated times. Burckhardt says the women of Atbara in Nubia shave their heads on the death of their nearest relatives --a custom prevalent also among several of the peasant tribes of upper Egypt. He also mentions wailing-women, and a man in distress besmearing his face with dirt and dust in token of grief. In the "Arabian Nights" are frequent allusions to similar practices. It also mentions ten days and forty days as periods of mourning. Lane, speaking of the modern Egyptians, says, "After death the women of the family raise cries of lamentation called welweleh or wilwal , uttering the most piercing shrieks, and calling upon the name of the deceased, Oh, my master! Oh, my resource! Oh, my misfortune! Oh, my glory!" See (<a href="/jeremiah/22-18.htm">Jeremiah 22:18</a>) The females of the neighborhood come to join with them in this conclamation: generally, also, the family send for two or more neddabehs or public wailing-women. Each brings a tambourine, and beating them they exclaim, Alas for him!? The female relatives, domestics and friends, with their hair dishevelled and sometimes with rent clothes, beating their faces, cry in like manner, Alas for him!? These make no alteration in dress, but women, in some cases, dye their shirts, head-veils and handkerchiefs of a dark-blue color. They visit the tombs at stated periods." --Mod. Eg. iii. 152,171,195.</li> </ol><a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div>MourningThe Hebrews, at the death of their friends and relations, made striking demonstrations of grief and mourning. They wept, tore their clothes, smote their breasts, threw dust upon their heads, <a href="/context/joshua/7-6.htm">Joshua 7:6</a>, and lay upon the ground, went barefooted, pulled their hair and beards, or cut them, <a href="/ezra/9-3.htm">Ezra 9:3</a> <a href="/context/isaiah/15-2.htm">Isaiah 15:2</a>, and made incisions on their breasts, or tore them with their nails, Le 19:28 21:5 <a href="/jeremiah/16-6.htm">Jeremiah 16:6</a> 48:37. The time of mourning was commonly seven days, <a href="/context/1_samuel/31-11.htm">1 Samuel 31:11-13</a>; but it was lengthened or shortened according to circumstances, <a href="/zechariah/12-10.htm">Zechariah 12:10</a>. That for Moses and Aaron was prolonged to thirty days, <a href="/numbers/20-29.htm">Numbers 20:29</a> De 34:8; and that for Jacob to seventy days, <a href="/genesis/50-3.htm">Genesis 50:3</a>. During the time of their mourning, the near relations of the deceased continued sitting in their houses, and fasted, <a href="/context/2_samuel/12-16.htm">2 Samuel 12:16</a>, or ate on the ground. The food they took was thought unclean, and even themselves were judged impure. "Their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners: all that eat thereof shall be polluted," <a href="/hosea/9-4.htm">Hosea 9:4</a>. Their faces were covered, and in all that time they could not apply themselves to any occupation, nor read the book of the law, nor offer their usual prayers. They did not dress themselves, nor make their beds, nor uncover their heads, nor shave themselves, nor cut their nails, nor go into the bath, nor salute any body. Nobody spoke to them unless they spoke first, <a href="/context/job/2-11.htm">Job 2:11-13</a>. Their friends commonly went to visit and comfort them, <a href="/context/john/11-19.htm">John 11:19</a>,39, bringing them food, <a href="/2_samuel/3-35.htm">2 Samuel 3:35</a> <a href="/jeremiah/16-7.htm">Jeremiah 16:7</a>. They also went up to the roof, or upon the platform of their houses, to bewail their misfortune: "They shall gird themselves with sackcloth; on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly," <a href="/isaiah/15-3.htm">Isaiah 15:3</a> <a href="/jeremiah/48-38.htm">Jeremiah 48:38</a>. The mourning dress among the Hebrews was not fixed either by law or custom. We only find in Scripture that they used to tear their garments, a custom still observed; but now they tear a small part merely, and for form's sake, <a href="/2_samuel/13-19.htm">2 Samuel 13:19</a> <a href="/2_chronicles/34-27.htm">2 Chronicles 34:27</a> <a href="/ezra/9-3.htm">Ezra 9:3</a> <a href="/job/2-12.htm">Job 2:12</a> <a href="/joel/2-13.htm">Joel 2:13</a>. Anciently in times of mourning, they clothed themselves in sackcloth, or haircloth, that is, in clothes of coarse brown or black stuff, <a href="/2_samuel/3-31.htm">2 Samuel 3:31</a> <a href="/1_kings/21-27.htm">1 Kings 21:27</a> <a href="/esther/4-1.htm">Esther 4:1</a> <a href="/psalms/35-13.htm">Psalm 35:13</a> 69:11. They hired women to weep and wail, and also persons to play on instruments, at the funerals of the rich or distinguished, <a href="/jeremiah/9-17.htm">Jeremiah 9:17</a>. In <a href="/context/matthew/9-23.htm">Matthew 9:23</a>, we observe a company of minstrels or players on the flute, at the funeral of a girl of twelve year of age. All that met a funeral procession were accustomed to join them for a time, to accompany them on their way, sometimes relieving the bearers of the bier, and mingling their tears with those of the mourners, <a href="/romans/12-15.htm">Romans 12:15</a>. The custom of hiring women to weep and wail has come down to modern times. The following account of such a scene at Nablous, the ancient Shechem, is form Dr. Jowett. The governor of the city had died the very morning of Dr. Jowett's arrival. "On coming within sight of the gate, we perceived a numerous company of females, who were singing in a kind of recitative, far from melancholy, and beating time with their hands. If this be mourning, I thought, it is of a strange kind. It had indeed sometimes more the air of angry defiance. But on our reaching the gate, it was suddenly exchanged for most hideous plaints and shrieks, which, with the feeling that we were entering a city at no time celebrated for its hospitality, struck a very dismal impression upon my mind. They accompanied us a few paces; but it soon appeared that the gate was their station, to which having received nothing from us, they returned. We learned, in the course of the evening, that these were only a small detachment of a very numerous body of 锟絚unning women- with the design, as of old, to make the eyes of all the inhabitants 锟絩un down with tears, and their eyelids gush out with water,- <a href="/context/jeremiah/9-17.htm">Jeremiah 9:17-18</a>. For this good service, they would, the next morning wait upon the government and principal persons, to receive some trifling fee." Some of the Jewish forms of mourning are the appropriate and universal language of grief; others, to our modern and occidental taste, savor of extravagance. None of these were enjoined by their religion, which rather restricted than encouraged them, Le 10:6 19:27 21:1-11 <a href="/numbers/6-7.htm">Numbers 6:7</a> De 14:1. They were the established customs of the times. Sorrow finds some relief in reversing all the usages of ordinary life. Christianity, however, moderates and assuages our grief; shows us a Father's hand holding the rod, and the dark valley itself penetrated by the heavenly light into which it emerges, <a href="/context/1_corinthians/15-53.htm">1 <a href="/context/1_corinthians/15-53.htm">1 Corinthians 15:53-55</a></a> <a href="/context/1_thessalonians/4-14.htm">1 Thessalonians 4:14-18</a> <a href="/context/revelation/7-13.htm">Revelation 7:13-17</a> 14:13. <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
