6453. 'At the cave' means where obscurity exists. This is clear from the meaning of 'the cave' as obscurity, dealt with in 2935. Regarding the existence of obscurity as well in the exterior natural, where the truths and forms of good represented by 'the sons and tribes of Israel' are, because things exist there only as a general, single whole, see just above in 6451 (end).

6452. 'Bury me with my fathers' means that interior things and what is inmost will exist there too. This is clear from the representation of Abraham and Isaac, to whom his 'fathers' refers here, as the interior things and what is inmost, 'Abraham' representing what is inmost and 'Isaac' what is interior beneath what is inmost, dealt with in 3245, 6098, 6185, 6276, 6434. Regarding the existence of what is inmost and of interior things together within exterior ones, thus within the forms of good and the truths in the natural, which are 'the sons and tribes of Israel', see immediately above in 6451.
