(a) Why did Chizkiyah drag his father's bones around town on a bed of ropes?
What did he hope to gain by doing that?

(c) How will we reconcile this with the possibility that Hesped is a matter of Kavod ha'Chayim?

(d) And how will we reconcile the possibility that Hesped is a matter of Kavod ha'Meis with the Beraisa "Helino li'Chevodo ... Eino Over Alav", assuming this to mean that the relative delayed the burial to enhance his own honor?

(b) What do we learn from the Pasuk in Beha'aloscha (in connection with Miriam's Tzara'as) "Al Na Tehi ka'Meis"?

(c) If as we see from our Mishnah, one may not even bury a big Rasha in the vicinity of a small one, why did they not arrange four grave-yards, one for each of the four Chayvei Miysah?

2. ... "li'Retzono"?

(a) How does Rava query Abaye, by differentiating between Meis mi'Toch Rish'o and Neherag mi'Toch Rish'o?

(b) How does he prove his point from the Pasuk in Tehilim "Mizmor le'Asaf ... Nasnu es Nivlas Avadecha Ma'achal le'Of ha'Shamayim, B'sar Chasidecha le'Chayso Aretz"? What distinction does he draw between Chasidim and someone who is Chayav Miysah?

What do we reply?

(c) Shmuel nevertheless condoned their actions, based of the Pasuk in Melachim (in connection with the destruction of idolatry) "va'Yashlech es Afarah al Kever B'nei ha'Am".
What do we learn from ...

1. ... there?
2. ... the Pasuk in Re'ei (in connection with idolatry) "Asher Atem Yorshim es *Eloheihem, al he'Harim* ha'Ramim"?

(a) What does the Beraisa say about a grave that someone dug to bury his father, but which remained empty, because he buried him somewhere else?

(a) The Beraisa (which we will also establish by a grave that is built above ground level), discusses three graves. A 'Kever ha'Nimtza' is a grave that is found to have a Meis buried in it without the owner's consent.
What is a 'Kever ha'Yadu'a'?

(b) The Tana rules with regard to Kever ha'Nimtza 'Mutar li'Fenoso, Mekomo Tahor and Mutar be'Hana'ah'.
How do we know that the Meis concerned is not a Meis Mitzvah, who must be buried wherever he is found?
