Talmud su Genesi 50:7

MISHNAH: Joseph had the merit to bury his father and none of his brothers was greater than he, as it is said: “Joseph ascended to bury his father.³²⁴Gen. 50:7.” Who would be greater than Joseph? Only Moses could occupy himself with him. Moses had the merit to take Joseph’s bones and no one in Israel was greater than he, as it is said: “Moses took Joseph’s bones with him.³²⁵Ex. 13:19.” Who would be greater than Moses? Only the Holy One, Praise to Him, could occupy himself with him, as it is said: “He buried him in the valley³²⁶Deut. 34:6. Another tradition, Sifry Num. 32, in the name of R. Ismael counts this verse as one of the three instances where אוֹתוֹ does not mean “him” but “himself”..” Not only about Moses was this said but about all the just, as it is said: “Your righteousness will precede you, the glory of the Eternal will gather you in.³²⁷Is. 58:8.”
