bis daß vierzig Tage um waren; denn so lange währen die Salbetage. Und die Ägypter beweinten ihn siebzig Tage.
Y cumpliéronle cuarenta días, porque así cumplían los días de los embalsamados, y lloráronlo los Egipcios setenta días.
El embalsamamiento duró cuarenta días, que era el tiempo que requería. Los egipcios lo lloraron durante setenta días.
Quarante jours s'écoulèrent ainsi, et furent employés à l'embaumer. Et les Egyptiens le pleurèrent soixante-dix jours.
E quaranta giorni intieri furono posti ad imbalsamarlo; perciocchè tanto tempo appunto si metteva ad imbalsamar coloro che s’imbalsamavano; e gli Egizj lo piansero per settanta giorni.
E cumpriram-se-lhe quarenta dias; porque assim se cumprem os dias daqueles que se embalsamam; e os egípcios o choraram setenta dias.
四十天滿了,就是塗香料所規定的日子滿了。 埃及 人為他哀哭了七十天。
