30:2 After death, when all the immediate ceremonies for the dead have been completed (see Sls. XVII, 5 note).

30:3 Literally 'the good work of the beginning.' That bûn kirfakŏ does not here stand for bûn-î kirfakŏ, 'the origin or root of the good work,' appears from Chap. XII, 1, where it is written kirfakŏ-î bûn.

30:4 Literally 'the good work of growth.'
