Genesis 50:2

Jacob's Burial

¹ Then Joseph fell upon his father’s face, and wept over him and kissed him [tenderly]. ² Then Joseph ordered his servants the physicians to embalm (mummify) his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel (Jacob). ³ Now forty days were required for this, for that is the customary number of days [of preparation] required for embalming. And the Egyptians wept and grieved for him [in public mourning as they would for royalty] for seventy days.
