How does Moses' burial relate to the law?

Answered in 1 source

Moses' burial in an unmarked grave signifies the end of the law's dominion and the new covenant of grace through Christ.

Moses was buried by God in an unmarked grave, demonstrating that the law, represented by Moses, is no longer the means through which God's people relate to Him. The fact that his grave was hidden indicates God's intention to illustrate the obsolescence of the law in light of the coming of grace through Christ (2 Corinthians 3:6). Just as God chose not to reveal Moses' burial site, He also brings us to a place where the law is no longer the basis of our assurance. Instead, Christ’s finished work at Calvary assures every believer that they are no longer under the law but under grace, having been made alive in Him.
