"Bury your dead" is stated seven times in the story of Sarah's death and burial in #genesis 23, but the words are reversed in the seventh incident. This is perhaps a hint at the ultimate reversal of death at the final (7th) judgment.

Rabbi David Kaplan says that the six statements are about the six righteous people buried at the cave of Machpelah who are only *called* dead when they were buried, though they are truly alive, while the seventh is an allusion to the head of Esau who was *truly* dead before burial because of his unrighteous nature. This too is prophetic of the final resurrection.
