📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative of Genesis, Joseph, who had become a powerful leader in Egypt, was mourning the death of his father Jacob, also called Israel, after a long and eventful life. Embalming was an Egyptian custom used to preserve bodies for burial, which Joseph employed here to honor his father and prepare for the traditional burial in the family tomb in Canaan.
