It is interesting to note that in 2 Kings 23:16-20, burning human bones on an altar desecrated the altar. At the same time, the Old Testament law nowhere commands that a deceased human body not be burned, nor does it attach any curse or judgment on someone who is cremated.
Ni jambo la kuvutia kutambua kwamba katika 2 Wafalme 23:16-20, kuchoma mifupa ya binadamu juu ya madhabahu ni kuharibu madhabahuni. Wakati huo huo, katika sheria za Agano la Kale hakuna mahali inaamrisha kwamba mwili wa marehemu uchomwe, wala kuambatisha laana yo yote au hukumu juu ya mtu ambaye amechomwa.
