ebeddoulos Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 I recently attended a funeral. As is my habit, I walked the line of stone and wondered about the stories that they told. One stone I found quite interesting. The name was Scottish but on the backside of the stone was a Hebrew word: חכצבהCan anybody provide a transliteration and a translation?

TNTzBH stands for Tihiyeh Nafsho Tzerurah Bitzror Hahayyim, may his soul be bound in the bundle of life. This ubiquitiuos blessing is drawn from 1 Samuel 25:29.
