Commentary for Berakhot 39:1
אבל מטמא הוא למת מצוה אמאי לימא אין חכמה ואין תבונה ואין עצה לנגד ה'
but for a Met Miswah he must defile himself. Why should this be so? Let one say, "There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the Lord"!
Abraham Cohen Footnotes to the English Translation of Masechet Berakhot
The duty of burial is to show respect to the body; why should respect for a person set aside the Pentateuchal prohibition against defilement?
