Bind the tire — Adorn thy head, as thou wast used to do; go not bare — headed as a mourner. Thy shoes — ln great mournings the Jews went bare — footed. Cover not thy lips — It was a custom among them to cover the upper lip. Eat not — Of thy neighbours and friends, who were wont to visit their mourning friends, and send in choice provision to their houses.
