11 Hindi, panginoon ko, dinggin mo ako: ang parang ay ibinibigay ko sa iyo, at ang yungib na naroroon ay ibinibigay ko sa iyo; sa harap ng mga anak ng aking bayan, ay ibinigay ko sa iyo: ilibing mo ang iyong patay.

6552. Verse 14 And Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers, and all who went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

'And Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers' means the life of the internal celestial, and of the truths of faith present within factual knowledge. 'And all who went up with him to bury his father' means all that contributes to regeneration. 'After he had buried his father' means to restore the Church to life.
