DEUT599 Rabbi Hama, son of Rabbi Hanina, said: What is the meaning of the verse, “You shall follow the Lord your God” (Deuteronomy 13:5)? … [It means that] a person should imitate the ways of the Holy Blessed One. Just as God clothes the naked... so too you should clothe the naked [poor]. The Holy Blessed One visited the sick... so too you should visit the sick. The Holy Blessed One buried the dead... So too you should bury the dead. The Holy Blessed One comforted mourners... so too you should comfort mourners.  Babylonian Talmud, Sotah 14a (By Uzi Weingarten and the Editors) DORFF-RUTTENBERGSOC 5
