On the day you bury your mother here beside me, do not stay overnight in this place. I know that the people here commit many injustices and practice great treachery, and no one is ashamed of doing so. You see what Nadab did to Ahiqar, my nephew, whom he had raised. He buried him alive. But God punished Nadab by exposing his injustice. He brought Ahiqar into the light and sent Nadab into eternal darkness because he tried to kill him. Because he gave alms, Ahiqar was saved from the death Nadab planned for him. Instead, Nadab fell into his own trap and perished.
