We may attend to all the necessities of the deceased: We may anoint and rinse him, provided we do not move any of his limbs; we may pull the pillow from under him and lay him on the sand in order that [his body] keep; we may bind up the jaw, not that it should close, but that it should not [open any] further. So, too, [with] a beam that broke, we may support it with a bench or with the side-pieces of a bed, not that it should be raised, but that it should not [sag any] further. We may not close the eyes of the dead on the Sabbath, nor [may we do so] on a weekday at the moment of death, [for] whoever closes the eyes [of a dying person] at the moment of death is a murderer.
