How did Moses know where Joseph had been buried? They said: Serakh daughter, of Asher was of the same generation, and she went and said to Moses: "In the Nile River, Joseph is buried. And the Egyptians made for him metal skewers and affixed them with wood." Moses went and stood at the Nile River and said, "Joseph, the time has come for the Holy Blessed One to redeem Israel. Behold, the Shekhina is delayed for you, and the Israelites are delayed for you, and the clouds of glory are delayed for you. If you reveal yourself, good (okay!), and if not, we are cleansed of the oath which you have sworn upon our fathers." Then the coffin of Joseph floated to the surface and Moses took hold of it and went. And you should not wonder at this, for behold, it says (2 Kings 6:5), "And as one of [the disciples of the prophets accompanying Elisha] was chopping down a tree-trunk, the iron [axe head] fell into the water, etc., and the man of God said, 'Where did it fall?' and he showed him the place, and he cut off a stick and threw it there, and the iron [axe head] floated up." And behold, these matters are a kal v'chomer (a logical deduction): If Elisha, who was a disciple of Elijah, who was a disciple of Moses, could make iron float, then how much more so could Moses, who was the master of Elijah, who was the master of Elisha, [bring up the coffin of Joseph]! There are those who say that Joseph was buried in the crypt of the kings, and Moses went and stood above the crypt and said, "Joseph! Joseph! The time has arrived for the Holy One, Blessed be He, to redeem Israel. Behold, the Shekhinah awaits you, and Israel awaits you, and the Clouds of Glory awaits you. If you reveal yourself it would be well, and if not, we will be free (lit., "clean") of the vow that our fathers vowed." Immediately, the coffin (aron) of Joseph stirred, and Moses took it and carried it off. And there were two aronot^*The word aron (ארון) means both "coffin/casket" and "ark/chest"; both senses will be employed here. traveling together: The aron kodesh (the Holy Ark), and the aron shel met (the "ark" of the dead). And all the passersby would say, What is the nature of these two aronot? They said to them, one is the Holy Ark and one is the ark of the dead. They said to them, And how is it possible for the Holy Ark to travel alongside an ark of the dead? They said to them, the dead who is in this ark fulfills what is written in that which rests in that Holy Ark.
