Genesis 50:1-3

International Children’s Bible

Jacob’s Burial

50 When Jacob died, Joseph hugged his father and cried over him and kissed him. ² He commanded the doctors who served him to prepare his father’s body. So the doctors prepared Jacob’s body to be buried. ³ It took the doctors 40 days to prepare his body. This was the usual time it took. And the Egyptians had a time of sorrow for Jacob. It lasted 70 days.
