6517. And now I pray let me go up and bury my father. That this signifies the resuscitation of the church there by the internal, is evident from the signification of "burying," as being resuscitation (see n. 6516); from the representation of Israel, who here is the "father," as being the church (n. 6514); and from the representation of Joseph, who says this of himself, as being the internal (n. 6499).
