* the physicians.
The Hebrew {ropheim,} from {rapha,} to heal, is literally the
healers, those whose business it was to heal, or restore the
body from sickness, by administering proper medicines; and
when death took place, to heal or preserve it from
decomposition by embalming. The word {chanat,} to embalm, is
also used in Arabic to express the reddening of leather;
somewhat analogous to our tanning; which is probably the
grand principal in embalming.
* embalmed.
