Deuteronomy 34:6
v. 6: God Himself buries Moses in a valley near Beth-peor . Some people wrongly think Moses was taken to heaven like Elijah, but the Bible says he died and was buried. God honors Moses with a private but special burial, probably using angels. This shows God cares for the bodies of His servants, not just their souls. The exact place of Moses’ tomb is unknown, probably so the Israelites would not turn it into a place of idol worship. Some believe that the devil wanted people to find Moses’ body for this reason, but God stopped him (Jude 9 a). This teaches us not to focus on relics or burial places, but on serving God.
