Context — The Death of Moses
4And the LORD said to him, “This is the land that I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you will not cross into it.”
5So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, as the LORD had said.
6And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab facing Beth-peor, and no one to this day knows the location of his grave.
7Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak, and his vitality had not diminished. 8The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning for Moses came to an end.Cross References

Deuteronomy 34:6 Summary
This verse tells us that God Himself buried Moses in a secret location, which shows us that God is in control of all things, even the lives and deaths of His servants. This reminds us that our lives are not our own, but belong to God, as seen in Psalm 100:3 and Romans 14:8. The secrecy of Moses' grave also teaches us to focus on God, not on human leaders or idols, and to trust in His goodness and sovereignty, as seen in Deuteronomy 6:4-5 and Matthew 22:37-38.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did God bury Moses in a secret location?
God buried Moses in a secret location to prevent the Israelites from worshiping him or his grave, as they were prone to idolatry, as seen in Exodus 32:1-6 and Deuteronomy 9:16.
What is the significance of Moses' grave being in the land of Moab?
The land of Moab was a place where the Israelites had previously been tempted to worship false gods, as seen in Numbers 25:1-9, and Moses' burial there may have been a reminder to the Israelites of God's judgment and mercy.
Will we ever know the location of Moses' grave?
According to Deuteronomy 34:6, no one to this day knows the location of Moses' grave, and it is likely that God will keep it hidden to prevent idolatry and to focus our attention on Him, as seen in Isaiah 45:5-6.
How does Moses' burial relate to the larger story of the Bible?
Moses' burial marks the end of an era in the history of the Israelites, and it prepares the way for the leadership of Joshua, as seen in Deuteronomy 31:7-8 and Joshua 1:1-9, and ultimately points forward to the greater leader, Jesus Christ, who would come to redeem God's people, as seen in Hebrews 3:1-6 and 12:1-2.
Reflection Questions
- What can we learn from the fact that God Himself buried Moses, and what does this reveal about God's care and love for His servants?
- How does the secrecy of Moses' grave challenge our tendency to idolize human leaders, and what are the implications for our own attitudes towards leaders and authority figures?
- In what ways can we apply the lessons of Moses' life and death to our own lives, particularly in terms of our own mortality and the legacy we leave behind?
- What comfort can we take from the fact that God is the One who buries and remembers His servants, even when others may forget, as seen in Psalm 115:1 and Isaiah 49:15?
Gill's Exposition on Deuteronomy 34:6
And he buried him,.... Aben Ezra says he buried himself, going into a cave on the top of the mount, where he expired, and so where he died his grave was; but though he died on the mount, he was
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Deuteronomy 34:6
And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day. He buried him - or, impersonally, 'he was buried in a valley;' i:e., a ravine or gorge of the Pisgah.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Deuteronomy 34:6
He, i.e. the Lord, last mentioned, buried him either immediately, or by the ministry of angels, whereof Michael was the chief or prince, . No man knoweth of his sepulchre, i.e. of the particular place of the valley where he was buried; which God hid from the Israelites, to prevent their superstition and idolatry, to which he knew their great proneness. And for this very reason the devil endeavoured to have it known, and contended with Michael about it, . And seeing God would not endure the worship of the relics or tomb of so eminent a person as Moses was, it is ridiculous to think God would permit this honour to be given to any of the succeeding saints, who were so far inferior to him.
Trapp's Commentary on Deuteronomy 34:6
Deuteronomy 34:6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.Ver. 6. And he buried him.] Either the Lord or Michael. There lies the body of Moses as in a chamber of rest, or bed of down. His very dust being precious; for Christ is not perfect without it. But no man knoweth of his sepulchre.] Though the devil made much ado about it, as desirous thereby to set up himself in the hearts of the living. So Chrysostom, Theodoret, Procopius, and others think: howbeit we find not anywhere that the Jews were addicted to this kind of idolatry, viz., of worshipping the relics of saints departed. But of Michael’ s dispute with the devil, about the body of Moses, we read in Origen and others, that (besides what Jude hath) there was in the primitive times a certain Apocryphal book, called Mωυσεως Aναληψις, the Assumption of Moses, wherein it was recorded, and where hence haply Jude had it. λειψανολατρια. Pεριαρχων, lib. iii. cap. 2. Abath R. Nathan.
Ellicott's Commentary on Deuteronomy 34:6
(6) And he buried him.—Moses is alone in this honour. The Son of God was buried by sinful men. Moses was buried by Jehovah. But no man knoweth of his sepulchre.—I have always believed that the contention between Michael and the devil about the body of Moses (Jude 1:9) was in fact, a struggle for his body—that Moses was to be raised from the dead, and that Satan resisted his resurrection. When the contest took place we cannot say. But Moses, who died and was buried, and Elijah, who was translated, “appeared in glory” on the holy mount, and the New Testament gives no hint of difference between them. We do not know how Moses could have appeared as a disembodied spirit so as to be seen of men.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Deuteronomy 34:6
Verse 6. He buried him] It is probable that the reason why Moses was buried thus privately was, lest the Israelites, prone to idolatry, should pay him Divine honours; and God would not have the body of his faithful servant abused in this way. Almost all the gods of antiquity were defiled men, great lawgivers, eminent statesmen, or victorious generals. See the account of the life of Moses at the end of this chapter. See Clarke on Deuteronomy 34:10.
Cambridge Bible on Deuteronomy 34:6
6. he buried] He can only be Jehovah, for no man knew the grave; hence the rendering they buried, though possible, so far as the grammar goes, is contrary to the sense. the valley … Beth-peor] See on Deuteronomy 3:29.
Barnes' Notes on Deuteronomy 34:6
No man knoweth of his sepulchre - Hardly, lest the grave of Moses should become an object of superstitious honor, because the Jews were not prone to this particular fore of error.
Whedon's Commentary on Deuteronomy 34:6
6. And he buried him — We understand the subject of the sentence to be Jehovah. It is true that although the verb is in the singular the passage might be rendered as it is in the Septuagint, (εθαψαναυτον,) they buried him.
