This term is used in the context of preparing a body for burial, a practice that was particularly significant in ancient Egyptian culture, where embalming was a common method to preserve the deceased for the afterlife.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Embalming was an essential part of Egyptian burial customs, reflecting their beliefs in the afterlife and the need to preserve the body for the deceased's journey. The Israelites, during their time in Egypt, would have been familiar with these practices. The process involved treating the body with spices and resins, which is reflected in the biblical accounts where "chanat" is used.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to spice, make spicy, embalm<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>embalm (1), embalmed (2), ripened (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">חָנַט</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>spice, make spicy, embalm</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id., bud, blossom</em>;
