the embalming (process)
This plural noun refers to the embalming process, specifically used in Genesis 50:3 to describe 'the days of embalming' for Jacob. The text specifies this took forty days, following Egyptian mortuary practice. Egypt's sophisticated mummification procedures preserved bodies for the afterlife, and Jacob received this treatment due to Joseph's high position. The technical term captures the time-consuming process of preparing a body with spices and preservatives.

1. sense 1 — The embalming process as practiced in Egypt, specifically the duration required for proper mummification. Genesis 50:3 notes that the standard embalming period was forty days, after which seventy days of mourning followed. Spanish 'los embalsamados' (the embalmed ones) takes it as substantive; English 'the embalming' treats it as the process. The detail shows how Joseph honored his father with full Egyptian burial customs while maintaining Israelite mourning traditions. 1×
