Adam Clarke
She did it for my burial - Or, She hath done it to embalm me - . The Septuagint use Ϛ for the person whose office it was to embalm, Genesis 50:2, and for the Hebrew which signifies to prepare with spices, or aromatics, Genesis 50:3. Our Lord took this opportunity to tell them, once more, that he was shortly to die.
