(ו) וַיִּקְבֹּ֨ר אֹת֤וֹ בַגַּיְ֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מוֹאָ֔ב מ֖וּל בֵּ֣ית פְּע֑וֹר וְלֹֽא־יָדַ֥ע אִישׁ֙ אֶת־קְבֻ֣רָת֔וֹ עַ֖ד הַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
(6) And he was buried in the valley in the land of Moab over against Beth-peor; and no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.
It is important to note that V'zot Ha'bracha is the only Torah portion that doesn't have its own Shabbat. Midrash states that perhaps the reason for this is because of Moses's important role in our history. Since no one knows where Moses was buried, it reminds us of his mortal role. While he was crucial to our history, he is not deified or worshiped -- he was a conduit of God, but not god.
LAST VERSE OF TORAH AND FIRST VERSE OF TORAH
(יב) וּלְכֹל֙ הַיָּ֣ד הַחֲזָקָ֔ה וּלְכֹ֖ל הַמּוֹרָ֣א הַגָּד֑וֹל אֲשֶׁר֙ עָשָׂ֣ה מֹשֶׁ֔ה לְעֵינֵ֖י כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
(12) and in all the mighty hand, and in all the great terror, which Moses wrought in the sight of all Israel.
(א) בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃
(1) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
It is important to recognize that the last letter of the Torah and the first letter of the Torah spell לב, heart. Torah cannot exist without heart. Moses's place in our history and in Torah is crucial to the לב, the heart, of Torah.
