Genesis 50:3-5
New King James Version
3 Forty days were required for him, for such are the days required for those who are embalmed; and the Egyptians (A)mourned[a] for him seventy days.
4 Now when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spoke to (B)the household of Pharaoh, saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the hearing of Pharaoh, saying, 5 (C)‘My father made me swear, saying, “Behold, I am dying; in my grave (D)which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan, there you shall bury me.” Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will come back.’ ”
