זוהר, בראשית י״גZohar, Bereshit 13

Segment 1א׳

כְּמָה דְּאִלֵּין אֲחִידָן משֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹן וּשְׁמוּאֵל, אוּף הָכִי אֲחִידָן (ס"א דא בדא) יַעֲקֹב משֶׁה וְיוֹסֵף. יַעֲקֹב מָארֵיהּ דְּבֵיתָא. מִית יַעֲקֹב נְטַל משֶׁה בֵּיתָא וּמַנֵּי לָהּ בְּחַיָּיו. יוֹסֵף עַל יְדֵי דְּיַעֲקֹב וּמשֶׁה הֲוָה צַדִּיק. (ותרווייהו לא שמשו ביתא אלא ביוסף בגין דהוה צהק).

In the same manner that Moses and Aaron - are connected (to Samuel) so are Jacob and Moses connected to Joseph. Jacob was the owner of the house. When Jacob passed away, Moses gained control over the house during his lifetime. Joseph was righteous because of Jacob and Moses.

Segment 2ב׳

יַעֲקֹב בְּיוֹסֵף נָטַל בֵּיתָא דִּכְתִיב, (בראשית ל״ז:ב׳) אֵלֶּה תּוֹלְדוֹת יַעֲקֹב יוֹסֵף. משֶׁה לָא שִׁמֵּשׁ בָּהּ עַד דְּנָטַל לֵיהּ לְיוֹסֵף. כַּד נָפְקַת שְׁכִינְתָּא מִן גָּלוּתָא לָא יָכִיל לְאִזְדַּוְוגָא בָּהּ אֶלָּא בְּיוֹסֵף דִּכְתִיב, (שמות י״ג:י״ט) וַיִּקַּח משֶׁה אֶת עַצְמוֹת יוֹסֵף עִמּוֹ. אַמַּאי כְּתִיב עִמּוֹ. אֶלָא גּוּפָא לָא אִזְדַּוַוג בְּנוּקְבָא עַד דְּאִזְדַּוַּוג בַּהֲדֵי בְּרִית. וְעַל דָּא משֶׁה נָטַל לֵיהּ לְיוֹסֵף עִמֵּיהּ. כֵּיוָן דְּהֲוָה עִמֵּיהּ שִׁמֵּשׁ בְּנוּקְבָא כְּדְקָא יְאוּת. וּבְגִין כָּךְ יַעֲקֹב משֶׁה וְיוֹסֵף כְּחֲדָא אָזְלֵי.

Jacob took over the house through Joseph, as it is written: "These are the generations of Jacob Joseph" (Beresheet 37:2). Moses did not mate with her until he attained (the connection with) Joseph. When the Shechinah returned from the exile (Moshe) was able to unite with (the Shechinah) only through Joseph, as it is written: "And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him" (Shemot 13:19). Why is it written: "with him?" Because the body is not (fit) for mating with the female unless it unites with the covenant (i.e. Yesod). This is why Moses took Joseph with him. Because, since (Yosef) was (connected) with him, (Ze'er Anpin) could mate with this Female principle in the proper manner. Thus, Jacob, Moses and Joseph go together as one.

Segment 3ג׳

יַעֲקֹב מִית וְגוּפֵיהּ אָעֳלוּ לֵיהּ בְּאַרְעָא קַדִּישָׁא. יוֹסֵף מִית גּוּפֵיהּ לָא אִתְקַּבַּר בְּאַרְעָא קַדִּישָׁא אֶלָא גַרְמוֹי. משֶׁה (מית) לָא הַאי וְלָא הַאי. אַמַּאי. אֶלָּא יַעֲקֹב בַּעֲלָהּ קַדְמָאָה דְּמַטְרוֹנִיתָא הֲוָה. מִית יַעֲקֹב אִזְדַּוְוגָא בֵּיהּ בְּמשֶׁה. וּבְעוֹד דְּהֲוָה משֶׁה בְּהַאי עָלְמָא מָנֵי לָהּ כְּדְקָא יְאוּת וְאִיהוּ הֲוָה בַּעֲלָהּ תִּנְיָינָא.

When Jacob died, his body was buried in the Holy Land; but when Joseph died, only his bones were buried in the Holy Land. For Moses, no part of his body was buried in the Holy Land. Because Jacob was the first husband of the Queen, but after Jacob died, (the female principle) mated with (the internal aspect of Ze'er Anpin, which is called) Moses. As long as Moses was in this world, he visited her, as was proper. He became the second husband.
