The Sefer אישי התנ״ך / the encyclopaedia of biblical personalities brings the sifri Beracha 34:51 “ A tunnel cave connected Moses grave with the graves of the patriarchs.”

I can’t seem to find this. I have Googled the Sifri Beracha and nothing comes up and I have checked on sefaria as well.

Could it be a misprint? If so what is the actual source?

Wishing everyone a Chag Kosher L’Pesach.

You are looking for Sifrei Devarim 357:

סמליון אמר: וימת שם משה - מנין אתה אומר, מחילה היתה יוצאה מקבורתו של משה לקבורתן של אבות? נאמר כאן וימת שם משה, ונאמר להלן שמה קברו את אברהם ואת שרה אשתו.

S'malyon said (It called out) "And Moses died there, the great scribe of Israel." Whence is it derived that a tunnel issues from the grave of Moses to that of the patriarchs? It is written here "and Moses died there," and elsewhere, (Bereshith 49:21) "There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife."
