6555. 'After he had buried his father' means to restore the Church to life. This is clear from the meaning of 'burying' as the restoration of the Church to life, dealt with immediately above in 6554; and from the representation of 'Israel' as the spiritual Church, dealt with in 4286, 6426, 6514, 6517, 6522.
