Chapter LXXVIII

1. The seventy-eighth subject is this, that in every habitation where any one departs, passing away from the world, it is necessary to endeavour that they may not eat and not consecrate fresh meat for three days therein. 2. Because the danger is that some one else may depart, passing away; so the relations of that former person should not eat meat for three days.
