Genesis 50:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

50 Joseph bent down near his father's face. He wept over him and he kissed him. ² Then Joseph told some of his servants to take Jacob's body. They knew how to put special oil on the body so that it would not become spoiled. Joseph's servants did what he told them to do. ³ The servants took care of the body for 40 days, which is the usual time. The Egyptians wept for 70 days because of Jacob's death.^[a]
