RBT Translation:
Joseph's "Coffin": A New Self
And he placed self within the New One of himself, a monument, which he had quarried out56 within the Rock Cliff. And he who has rolled up a mega stone to the Door of the Monument, went away.

"Is not in this way the word of myself like a fire? He Is he who whispers, and like a hammer he is breaking in pieces the rocky cliff!"

(Jeremiah 23:31 RBT)
A Mega Womb Shut by a Mega Stone

"And Noble Princess, a woman of Exalted Father, has not given birth to himself. And to herself is a maidservant, a siege-enclosure ("Mitzrit"). And a name of herself is the Foreigner ("HaGar").
And Noble Princess is saying toward Exalted Father, "Behold! Pray, He Is has shut in myself from childbirth! Come in, pray, toward the Maidservant of myself! Perhaps I am being built up from out of herself!" And Exalted Father heard the Voice of Noble Princess."

(Genesis 16:1-2 RBT)
LITV Translation:
and laid it in his new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock. And rolling a great stone to the door of the tomb, he departed.
ESV Translation:
and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock. And he rolled a great stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away.
