Quite a few anomalies were written into the script regarding Moses, his actions and his 'last moments' on stage.
Deuteronomy 34.
There are a number of questions to do with the wording of the scene but here I am concerned with YHVH choice of putting Moses to his final rest in a Valley (?) opposite the 'House' of 'Baal Peor'.
Moses was punished. He would not enter the 'Promised Land' because he hit the rock, not once but twice, when YHVH told him to speak to the rock to get the water out.
Now it seems he is punished for a second time, he is burried opposite the House of Baal peor, the staunch enemy of YHVH and Israel.
The daughters of Moab seduced the 'Israelites' to the worship of Baal Peor through sex.
Why did YHVH bury him there?
Why is his burial place not known 'until today'?
In the Talmud according to Rashi (the most acceptable interpreter) they claimed that the place was full of 'offerings' to Baal peor, the kind of 'offering' we would associate with the 'Bathroom' in the U.S. and a toilet in the rest of the world.
Really?
Baal Peor is the Lord of the Opening, some call it baal Zebub, lord of the Flies.
Why bury him there, perhaps so no one will go looking for his grave?
Poor Moses.
The Jews consider burial on Mount of Olives a great honour.
It is opposite the Temple Mount (Moriah).
Like in the theatre, opposite the main stage, waiting for the messiah to raise them from the dead, cross the valley of Kidron and enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
What about Moses?
