2 Joseph commanded the physicians in his service to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel; 3 they spent forty days in doing this, for that is the time required for embalming. And the Egyptians wept for him seventy days. Genesis 50:2-3, NRSV Catholic Edition. Copyright © 1989, 1993 by the National Council of the Churches of Christ.
