{Genesis 50:2} And Joseph 3130 commanded 6680 z8762 x853 his servants 5650 x853 the physicians 7495 z8802 to embalm 2590 z8800 x853 his father: 1 and the physicians 7495 z8802 embalmed 2590 z8799 x853 Israel. 3478
the physicians:
The Hebrew ropheim, from rapha, to heal, is literally the healers, those whose business it was to heal, or restore the body from sickness, by administering proper medicines; and when death took place, to heal or preserve it from decomposition by embalming. The word chanat, to embalm, is also used in Arabic to express the reddening of leather; somewhat analogous to our tanning; which is probably the grand principal in embalming.
embalmed:
"So Josephª died,ª° [being] an hundredª and tenª yearsª old:ª and they embalmedª° him, and he was putª° in a coffinª in Egypt.ª" {Gen 50:26} + "And they buriedª° him in his own sepulchres,ª which¹ he had madeª° for himself in the cityª of David,ª and laidª° him in the bedª which¹ was filledª° with sweet odoursª and divers kindsª [of spices] prepared²° by the apothecaries'² art:ª¹¹ and they madeª° a veryª¹ greatª burningª for him." {2Ch 16:14} + "For¹ in that²¹ she²°² hath pouredª° thisª ointmentª onª myª body,ª she didª° [it] for² myª burial.ª°" {Mtt 26:12} + "She hath doneª° whatª sheª°² could:ª° she is come aforehandª° to anointª° myª bodyª toª the¹ burying.ª" {Mrk 14:8} + "Andª when²° the¹ sabbathª was past,ª° Maryª Magdalene,ª andª Maryª the¹ [mother]² of James,ª andª Salome,ª had boughtª° sweet spices,ª thatª they might comeª° and anointª° him.ª" {Mrk 16:1} + "Nowª upon the¹ firstª [day] of the¹ week,ª very early in the morning,ªª they cameª° untoª the¹ sepulchre,ª bringingª° the spicesª whichª they had prepared,ª° andª certainª [others] withª them.ª" {Lke 24:1} + "Thenª saidª° Jesus,ª Let²° her² alone:ª°¹ againstª the¹ dayª of myª buryingª hath she keptª° this.ª" {Jhn 12:7} + "Andª there cameª° alsoª Nicodemus,ª which² at the first² cameª°¹ toª Jesusª by night,ª and broughtª° a mixtureª of myrrhª andª aloes,ª aboutª an hundredª poundª [weight]. ... Thenª took¹ they²° the¹ bodyª of Jesus,ª andª woundª° itª in linen clothesª withª the¹ spices,ª asª the mannerª of the¹ Jewsª isª° to bury.ª°" {Jhn 19:39-40}
