DT. 34:7 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. DT.31:2 And he said unto them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in. Good eyesight and undiminished "natural force"...but he could not "go out and come in" any more. Oh well...good eyesight is quite rare at that age and it stood him in good stead when God took him up Nebo. God buried Moses in a valley in Moab (at least, according to Moses). Nobody knows what God did with the body. All we know (from the words of Moses) is that God buried him near Bethpeor. Moses wrote all about it after he died...but apparently even Moses did not know where God had buried him. Whether his eyesight became any dimmer after the burial, Moses does not say; but it seems a likely explanation for his inability to determine where exactly God was burying him. One recalls after Moses did his first murder that he hid the body in the sand. But we may never know where God hid the body of Moses. Obviously, it will have become sand by now... Moses was "grown" when he murdered his first man and he was 120 when he died. In between the first and the last he wiped out many many tribes of God's children to the last breath of every man, woman, and child--except for those virgins! Then there was the time when God went to murder Moses over the foreskin affair. I wonder if that is why God never told where he buried His hired assassin? Perhaps He did murder Moses in the end--as He had once intended before changing His ever-changing mind...
