Core Text
בַּמִּדָּה שֶׁאָדָם מוֹדֵד מוֹדְדִין לוֹ. מֹשֶׁה זָכָה בְּעַצְמוֹת יוֹסֵף... אַף הוּא זָכָה שֶׁיִּתְעַסֵּק בּוֹ הַמָּקוֹם, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר וַיִּקְבֹּר אֹתוֹ

English: With the measure that a person measures, they measure to him. Moshe merited [to care for] the bones of Yosef… he likewise merited that the Omnipresent Himself occupied Himself with him, as it is said “And He buried him.”

The classical source expands or derives a specific point from the language of the passuk. The Core Text above is the relevant region of interest.

Type of Learning

Custom (A measure-for-measure correspondence between Moshe’s care for Yosef and Hashem’s care for Moshe.)

What Is Learned

Because Moshe, the greatest of Israel, personally took responsibility for the bones of Yosef, Hashem Himself performed the burial of Moshe. No human being greater than Moshe remained to perform the duty; therefore the Holy One Himself undertook it.
