This intriguing verse alludes to non-biblical Old Testament event in which the archangel Michael and Satan disputed over the body of Moses. Satan's contention, according to the apocryphal Assumption of Moses, was that Moses was unworthy of saving since he was a murderer. Fortunately for Moses as well as for all of us flawed sinners, it is God's grace that ultimately counts, not our own works.
