And the Bible indicates he was buried in a shroud of linen strips.
I also found this as far as Jewish customs of the day:
“Merrill Tenney (professor of theological studies and dean of the Graduate school of Theology at Wheaton College and author of several books including “The Zondervan Bible Dictionary”) describes the Jewish custom as follows: In preparing a body for burial according to Jewish custom, it was usually washed and straightened, and then bandaged tightly from the armpits to the ankles in strips of linen about a foot wide. Aromatic spices, often of a gummy consistency, were placed between the wrappings or folds. They served partially as a preservative and partially as a cement to glue the cloth wrappings into a solid covering. (from: The Reality of the Resurrection).”
What am I missing? The Bible indicates Jesus was wrapped with linen strips and the Jewish custom of the day was to wrap the body with linen strips.
