Genesis 50:1-3 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. Joseph threw himself on his father's body. He sobbed over him and kissed him.

2. Then Joseph talked to the doctors who served him. He told them to prepare the body of his father Israel to be buried. So the doctors prepared it.

3. They took 40 days to do it. They needed that much time to prepare a body in the right way. The Egyptians sobbed over Jacob for 70 days.
