[note the picture of this setting: within this set-apart chamber, the place where He had been lying corresponds to the ark of the covenant, with His blood on the mercy seat; the two agents are at the positions of the cherubim, at each end, on the top of the ark] ¹³ And they are now saying to her, "Woman (or: Dear lady; or: O married one), why do you continue weeping?
