Deut. 32:8-10 “When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, When He separated the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples According to the number of the sons of Israel. For the LORD'S portion is His people; Jacob is the allotment of His inheritance. He found him in a desert land, And in the howling waste of a wilderness; He encircled him, He cared for him, He guarded him as the pupil of His eye.” (Read Deut 32:7-14)

Lazarus Tomb Traditional site of the burial and resurrection of Lazarus. Bethany area. Where Mary and Martha were comforted by Jesus (John 11). Jewish custom was to bury the body immediately after the death because warm weather rapid decay. A decaying body invited animal and birds to attack it. To permit a body to decay or be damaged was a sign of disrespect. Burial was most often in a cave, or a burial site dug out of the side of a hill or mound of earth.
