Children's Value and Status Marker in Burial Practices
Children in ancient Israel were highly valued and burial practices reflected this significance. In pre-Israelite periods, infants were often buried under houses in jar burials, possibly symbolizing rebirth. However, during the Israelite period, a shift occurred, with children being buried in family tombs alongside adults. This practice of bench tombs in Judea emphasized the unity of families in life and death, marking children as integral members of Judean society.
