A Clue why Moses was buried in the land of Gad © 2017 The Torah says that Leah called her son Gad or vatikrah es shmo Gad, see Genesis 30:11. The Gematria of this term is 1461. Another phrase with the same Gematria is Lehadlik Ner Shel Shabbat, or to kindle the light of the Sabbath. So what is the connection? We know that Moses’s greatest gift was Sabbath as noted in our Sabbath Prayers. So what does this have to do with Gad? Based on the location where Gad was situated. Gad was on the eastern side of the Jordan. This means that eastern side entered Shabbos first. Moses wanted to be buried in the section of Israel that was the first to enter into Shabbos and at the same time, close to Israel and that was located in the tribe of Gad. Hence we have another reason why Moses was buried in the tribal territory of Gad.
