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. Some think that he entered a cave and there died, being, according to an ancient tradition of Jews and Christians, carried by angels (Numbers 21:20; Jude 1:9) into heaven. The obscure allusion of Jude to Satan's contest about the body of Moses, as if a translation were depriving him 'that has the power of death' of his rights, seems to countenance the idea that the body of the great lawgiver was not left to mingle with the dust; and his re-appearance in the scene of the transfiguration, with Elijah, seems to give it additional support.
No man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day This concealment seems to have been owing to a special No man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day. This concealment seems to have been owing to a special and wise arrangement of Providence, to prevent its being ranked among 'holy places,' and made the resort of superstitious pilgrims or idolatrous veneration in later ages.
