Moses is the only person in the Bible whom God personally buried. Did you know that? And then the Lord hid the tomb. Why did He do that? Because that grave would have become a second Mecca. They would still be beating a path up Nebo to this day, building shrines, selling popcorn and peanuts, offering all sorts of rides, maybe running a tram up there, with big banners announcing, “Moses’ burial place!” “No way,” the Lord said. “Put him in that grave, seal it over, and conceal it, so they’ll never know where it is.”
