ἐπειδὴ δὲ παρῆλθον αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ πένθους ἐλάλησεν ιωσηφ πρὸς τοὺς δυνάστας φαραω λέγων εἰ εὗρον χάριν ἐναντίον ὑμῶν λαλήσατε περὶ ἐμοῦ εἰς τὰ ὦτα φαραω λέγοντες
Genesis 50:4
Arcana Coelestia # 6522
6522. 'And Joseph went up to bury his father' means the steps taken by the internal to re-establish the Church. This is clear from the representation of 'Joseph' as the internal, dealt with above in 6499; from the meaning of 'burying' as restoration to life, dealt with in 6516, thus a re-establishment, since it is used to refer to the Church; and from the representation of Israel, to whom 'father' refers here, as the Church, dealt within 4286, 6426.
