Torah Temimah points to Torah Temimah citation.
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.”
Custom (A measure-for-measure correspondence between Moshe’s care for Yosef and Hashem’s care for Moshe.)
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.
