was the solemn procession to bring the bride from her father’s home to the home of her bridegroom or the bridegroom’s father. The bridegroom, wearing his best clothing and escorted by his friends, would leave his house in the evening for the home of the bride’s parents. From there, accompanied by musicians and singers and usually by people carrying lamps, the couple made their way toward the bridegroom’s home. The people along the route would take great interest in the procession. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070625/1/0" data-bid="2-1" class="b">Isa 62:5;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070625/1/1" data-bid="2-2" class="b"> Jer 7:34;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070625/1/2" data-bid="2-3" class="b"> 16:9</a>) Young women carrying lamps were apparently among those joining the procession. As there was no particular haste, the procession might be delayed, so that some waiting along the way would get drowsy and fall asleep. The long waiting period might require refilling with oil the lamps carried in the procession. Singing and exultation would be heard quite a distance away. Then, after the bridegroom and his entourage entered the house and closed the door, it was too late for tardy guests to enter.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070625/2/0" data-bid="3-1" class="b">Mt

This separation may have been done for a variety of reasons. For example, it may have been for pasturing, breeding, milking, shearing, slaughtering, or even helping the animals to group together to stay warm at night. Whatever the case, this illustration well describes the clear separation that will take place when “the Son of man comes in his glory.”—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070625/16/0" data-bid="17-1"
