Jude 9
1:9 a Michael, one of the mightiest of the angels: In Jewish tradition, “archangel” was the highest rank of angel (see also 1 Thes 4:16 b). Michael is mentioned several other times in Scripture (Dan 10:13 c, 21 d; 12:1 e; Rev 12:7 f); the story about him fighting with the devil about Moses’ body is not in the Old Testament but is preserved in Jewish tradition (see Assumption of Moses).
