Where is Moses' headstone?

A:Deuteronomy 34:5-6 says that Moses died in Moab and was buried secretly. This was so that no one knew where his grave was, although the same concerns did not seem to apply to his illustrious predecessors or to those who followed. Deuteronomy 34:10 could explain this diffidence, saying that "there arose not a prophet since in Israel." This demonstrates that the Book of Deuteronomy was written long after the establishment of Israel and therefore very long after Moses would have died. The author knew nothing about the burial of Moses many centuries earlier but knew that it would have been natural for his readers to want to visit the site of Moses' grave. If indeed Moses was a historical person, there was no headstone and we do not know where he was buried.

If she is not responding to phone calls, texts, emails or things of the such. I propose going and seeing her when you know she'll be home or when you know somewhere where she'll be. That way she'll have a harder time evading you if that is what she's doing. And then just ask her what's going on.

If you stand at the foot of the grave should you read the font of the headstone?

I think so. why else would you be standing at the foot of a grave? unless it's somebody you know, in which case you don't really need to read the headstone every time you visit it.

Do you mean 'should you be able to read the front of the headstone?'. In that case, yes: the front part of the headstone is the part facing the grave, so if you are standing on the grave side of the headstone you'll be able to read the front.
