Reference for Moed Katan 54:19

ולא של נשים לעולם מפני הכבוד: אמרי נהרדעי לא שנו

And she died. [Our Rabbis taught]:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' So Han. and SBH.');"><sup>27</sup></span> 'Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Jer. XXII, 10.');"><sup>28</sup></span> [that is], 'Weep not for the dead' [that is] in excess, 'neither bemoan him' - beyond measure. How is that [applied]? - Three days for weeping and seven for lamenting and thirty [to refrain] from cutting the hair and [donning] pressed clothes; hereafter, the Holy One, blessed be He, says, 'Ye are not more compassionate towards him [the departed] than I'. Weep sore for him that goeth away.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Jer. XXII, 10.');"><sup>28</sup></span> Said Rab Judah [as reporting Rab],<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' So MS.M. and Yalkut.');"><sup>29</sup></span> that means, Weep for him who goes [to his long home] childless.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Cf. B.B. ');"><sup>30</sup></span> R'Joshua B'Levi would not go to [visit] a house of mourning save to that of one who had gone childless, for it is written [said he]: Weep sore for him that goeth away,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' 'Goeth away' also means 'to die childless'. Cf. Gen. XV, 2.');"><sup>31</sup></span> for he shall return no more nor see his native country.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Jer. XXII, 10.');"><sup>28</sup></span> R'Huna said this [verse refers to] one who committed a sinful act and repeated it again. R'Huna is here adhering to his own view, as he said: 'As soon as a person has continued a sinful act and has repeated it, it has become unto him permissible'. [You say].' Become unto him permissible'? Can you conceive such a thing? - Say rather that it has become unto him as though it were something permissible. Said R'Levi: A mourner [during] the first three days should look upon himself as if a sword is resting between his shoulders;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Close by and ready to slay him.');"><sup>32</sup></span> from the third to the seventh, as if it stands in the corner facing him; thereafter a it is moving alongside him in the [broad] market place. AND THE BIER OF WOMEN IS NEVER [SET DOWN IN THE BROADWAY] FOR THE SAKE OF PROPRIETY. Said the Nehardeans:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' R. Hama, R. Nahman and Samuel. V. Sanh. ');"><sup>33</sup></span> This [Mishnah] was taught only
