Genesis 50:4 WBT

²  And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.

³  And forty days were fulfilled for him; (for so are fulfilled the days of those who are embalmed:) and the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.

⁴  And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

⁵  My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.

⁶  And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.
