Funeral

At Ecclesiastes 7:2, we translated the Greek words, ‘Agathon poreuthenai eis oikon penthous,’ as, ‘It’s better to attend a funeral.’

Yet a word-for-word translation says:

‘Is/good to/go into a/house of/mourning.’

Why have we made this change? Because in modern terms, we would refer to this as attending a funeral.
