Wei for Embalm Hem Fitim Olketa Christian?

Taem hem klosap for dae, last samting wea datfala faithful laen dadi Jacob askem hem: “Berem mi witim olketa dadi bilong mi insaed cave wea stap long field bilong Ephron datfala Hittite, long cave wea stap long field bilong Machpelah wea stap front long Mamre long land bilong Canaan.”—Genesis 49:29-31.

JOSEPH showim honor long samting wea dadi bilong hem talem taem hem mekius long wanfala kastom wea olketa long Egypt duim long datfala taem. Hem komandim “olketa servant bilong hem, olketa doctor, for putim medicine long dadi bilong hem mekem hem no rotten (Embalmim).” Insaed story long Genesis chapter 50, olketa doctor hia followim wei bilong olketa for iusim 40 day for redyim dead body. Wei for embalmim body bilong Jacob hem mekem famili bilong hem and tu samfala bigman bilong Egypt fit for tekem body bilong Jacob for go berem long Hebron wea hem 400 km awe, and from olketa wanfala bigfala sekson, gogo bilong olketa hem isisi nomoa.—Genesis 50:1-14.

Waswe, bae enitaem olketa savve faendem body bilong Jacob wea olketa embalmim? Maet hem barava hard for faendem. From Israel hem wanfala area wea garem staka wata, diswan mekem wei for faendem olketa oldfala samting wea stap long graon hem lelebet hard. (Exodus 3:8) Olketa oldfala metal and ston samting hem isi for faendem, bat samfala samting wea isi for nogud olsem kaleko, leather, and olketa dead body wea olketa embalmim, rotten from wata and olketa samting wea bin happen.

Olketa wea embalmim Jacob no garem sem biliv witim hem. Bat iumi sure hao taem Joseph givim go dead body bilong dadi bilong hem long olketa doctor, bae hem nating askem olketa for prea and duim olketa samting saed long kastom wea olketa bilong Egypt maet duim taem olketa embalmim dead body. Jacob and Joseph garem strongfala faith. (Hebrews 11:21, 22) Nomata hem luk olsem diswan hem no komand bilong Jehovah, Bible hem no tok againstim wei wea olketa stopem dead body bilong Jacob for rotten. Wei wea olketa embalmim Jacob hem no wanfala example for nation bilong Israel or for Christian kongregeson. For tok stret, Word bilong God no talem eni klia instruction abaotem diswan. Bihaen taem olketa embalmim Joseph long Egypt, Bible no talem eni moa samting abaotem diswan.—Genesis 50:26.
