(Devarim, Ibid.) "Hear, O L-rd, the voice of Judah": We are hereby taught that Moses prayed for the tribe of Judah, saying: "L-rd of the world, whenever the tribe of Judah is in distress and prays before You, rescue him from it."
(Ibid.) "And to his people shall You bring him.": He (Judah) was buried with the forefathers in the land. R. Yehudah says: Was it the bones of Judah alone that the children of Israel brought up from Egypt? The bones of all the brothers were brought up by its tribe from Egypt! What, then, is the intent of "And to his people shall You bring him"? He was buried together with the forefathers. R. Meir says: (But) it is written (Bereshith 50:5) "In my grave which I (Jacob) dug for myself in the land of Canaan" — I myself am buried in it, and no other. What is the intent, then, of "And to his people shall you bring him"? That he be buried in the land (of Canaan) as the forefathers were.
