Midrash sa Mga Bilang 33:21: Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)

We are taught in a Baraitha, R. Juda said: "Were it not for the passage, it would have been impossible to know where Moses died? In the part of Reuben. (Ib. 34, 1) And Moses went up from the plains of Mo'ab unto the Mt of Nebo, and the Mt. of Nebo was situated in the section of Re'uben, as it is written (Num. 32, 37) And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, El'aleh, Kiryathayim, Nebo, and Baa'l-me'on. And where was Moses buried? In the section of Gad; as it is written (Ib. 33, 21) Because there is the field of the Law-Giver hidden. The distance between the part of land belonging to Reuben to that of Gad is about four miles. Now by whom was Moses brought the distance of these four miles? From this it may be inferred that when Moses died, he was placed on the wings of the Shechina [by which means he was carried away these four miles], surrounded by ministering angels, saying (Ib., ib., ib.) He executed the justice of the Lord and His judgment with Israel. And what did the Holy One, praised be He, Himself say at that time? (Ps. 94, 16) O who will rise up before Me against evil-doers, or who will stand up against Me with the worker of wicked-doers." But Samuel said: "The Lord said the following, (Ecc. 8, 1) "Who is like the wise and who knoweth as well the explanation of a thing?" R. Jochanan said: "The Lord said the following, (Job 28, 12) But wisdom, where shall she be found? Where is the place of understanding?" R. Nachman b. Isaac said: "The Lord said the following, (Deut. 34, 5) And Moses the servant of the Lord died there." Samalian said: And Moses died there, means "The great Scribe of Israel."
