LAWS CONCERNING BURIAL
When the burier finishes and intends to come out of the
grave, he should come out from the legs' side. He should
then cover the grave with dust raising it four fingers higher
than the level of the ground. He must not put in the grave any
dust that does not belong to the hole itself. At the side of the
head, he should put a brick or a tablet. Then, he should pour
water on the grave beginning with the side of the head. He
then turn to the four sides of the grave and return to the side
of the head. If any amount of water remains, he may pour it
on the middle of the grave.
