Again, those dang Greek words. That pesky Greek word means enfolded not wraped. It was NOT common to wrap a Jewish body per the Mishnah. There have been just three first century Jewish burials found where the bones were not collected that involved a shroud. These were incomplete due to an earthquake burning the Tombs. Two still had the shroud remnants complete enough to show they were merely drawn up over the body. The other had mere pieces of the shroud left and nothing of how it was used could be learned. One year after burial, the family would return to the tomb to complete the burial by collecting the bones after the body had essentially rotted away, and collect the bones to their ancestors, placing them either into a central tomb ossuary pit with the rest of the familys bones, or into a collective bone ossuary box (a first century innovation) with multiple family member bones per box. Anything that would entangle that task would not be done at burial, as touching things that touched dead bodies made one even more ritually unclean, complicating the rituals to cleanse oneself afterwards. When a shroud was used it was folded over the body. . . which is what Greek original says, the Hebrew Mishnah requires, and the two extant graves unearthed in archaeological digs found.
Wrapping is a conflation of people becoming aware of Egyptian mummies and how the Egyptians buried THEIR dead. The Jewish people required their dead had to be buried before sundown on the day they died. Think about it. With that kind of pressure, do you really think there would be TIME to do complicated wrappings before the sun dropped below the horizon, which was the definition of sundown? No, there was not. The Mishnah specified cleaning, anoint, then binding the limbs, the jaws, closing the eyes (they usually used a stone or a potsherd to keep the eyes closed but rich people used coins), attach the ritual prayer devices, cover the body using a shroud of one could be afforded, or a face covering if not, a privacy cloth over the loins in addition if no shroud. If blood was spilled, include all that could be collected and things the blood touched. If it could be afforded, spices and aromatic herbs around the body. Done. Close the tomb and go clean yourself ritually from handling a dead body. Praying would be done at home with family, sitting shiva.
In Jesus case, with the Sabath eminent, the time was particularly short. They first had to get permission after His death to take down the body from Pilate. Then the procedure of the Roman soldiers to do so. He died at the ninth hour... about 3PM. It will be 3:30 before people are certain Jesus is actually dead.
Sundown was around 7:20-7:25PM about that time in the spring. Getting permission required someone with authority to go to Pilate, most likely Joseph of Arimathea who was not young, getting an audience with Pilate, arguing why the body should NOT be left on the cross, etc. Distance Golgotha to Pilates Hasmonean Palace is up a series of switchbacks and then past the Temple and the then west from there. Its about a mile.
Joseph has to take his time, but time is precious. Time to persuade the factotum of a legitimate reason to bother the governor, then argue the case. Then back through the market to buy a hundred taels of spices and ointments, plus a fine linen Syndon (the Shroud) and then back to Golgotha with Pilates order to take down Jesus from the Cross. Arguably thats on hour to an hour and a half to two hours. Lets say the shorter time. Joseph rushed, and Pilate was feeling guilty.
The soldiers worked quickly and got Jesus down rapidly. They are professional, even though they dont normally remove dead crucifixion victims from their torture devices. Theyre left there for some time for animals to get down, or until the stapes are needed for their next victim.
Lets say it takes these Roman professionals a half hour to undo their handiwork and get the body down and the nails out. Joseph and his friends are now two and a half hours after the ninth hour, or 5:30PM and the body is not yet at the Tomb. Good thing the Garden Tomb is only a fifteen minute walk away, if only they werent carrying a dead weight, plus about 80 pounds of herbs, ointments, the shroud and other binding cloths. Likely, its going to take about a half-hour. Its now 6pm. . . Sundown is an hour and 20 minutes away. The body has to be prepared, in the Tomb, buried, with enough time for these men to get home and ritually cleansed for their OWN Sabath start BEFORE the sun set. No work at all is permitted including ritual cleansing of ones body after sunset! No, not allowed.
Remember, getting back into Jerusalem is back up a series of switchbacks and almost a mile to the middle of the city!
Joseph and his friends to a very quick job. The best they can do with the time constraints. No cleaning. No anointing. Binding, laying out. Pack the herbs and ointment around for later (that would be on Sunday), and pull the shroud up and over, and get the out as fast as they can. . . ZOOM!
Remember, the women were going back on Sunday morning to FINISH what COULD NOT BE FINISHED (LAZY MEN, sleeping in on Sunday?) on Friday evening... then... and the rest is history.
Again this is using research, knowledge and logic.
Thanks. You have convinced me that one cannot believe The Written Word.
