Can someone tell me where I can find the story of St. Michael and the Devil discussing the whereabouts of moses’ bones? Thanks in advance, SY.

Jude 1:9

Yet the archangel Michael, when he argued with the devil in a dispute over the body of Moses, did not venture to pronounce a reviling judgment upon him but said, “May the Lord rebuke you!”

Thanks Thistle, I did know this one. I was more interested in an OT reference, if there is one. There must be one, right? I mean, how did Jude know the story?

There is no OT reference, it was part of Oral tradition.
 
Origen believed that verse 9 was a reference to the apocryphal book The Assumption of Moses. As we don’t have the whole text anymore, there is no way to know for sure.

**From the Assumption of Moses, which is an apocryphal work. **​


 
Could it be that Moses’ appearance at the Transfiguration validated in part the truth within The Assumption of Moses which might not have been entirely inspired by the Holy Spirit?
