Talmud zu Jechezkiel 6:11

If three years old he is taken out on a bier. R. ‘Aḳiba said: If he is three years old but his limbs are [developed] like those of an infant two years old,⁹V wrongly in brackets ‘he is not carried on a bier’. or if he is two years old but his limbs are like those of an infant three years old, he is carried on a bier. Simeon the brother of Azariah said: For anyone who is taken out on a bier the people show their distress.¹⁰[Heb. meḳallesin which in Rabbinic Heb. means ‘stamp with the foot’ as a sign of mourning (cf. Ezek. 6, 11).] The Talmud, which gives the name of the Rabbi as Simeon b. Eleazar, uses a different verb; cf. M.Ḳ. 24b (Sonc. ed., p. 151, n. 9). R. Meir said in the name of R. Eleazar b. Azariah: If he is known to the public at large they participate in connection with him [at the funeral], but if not, they do not participate in connection with him.
