Sigil[edit]

I do not know if a 'sigil' can be copyrighted, particularly one from an apparently nonexistent book. Elizium23 (talk) 00:42, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

yer. ber.[edit]

The article uses the abbreviation "Yer. ber." in its references. I think this means "Jerusalen Gemara", but am not sure. Could anyone direct me to any wikipedia sources (articles, etc.) for this? Thanks. Editor2020 (talk) 02:51, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

Mention of Satan in Jewish part of page[edit]

I'm new to editing Wikipedia wise, but the portion of this page mentioning Satan in the Jewish description of Michael seems off. The quote cites Deuteronomy, but looking up the quote finds the sentence from Jude 1:9 ^[1], which is Christian in origin. Even if the source was correct I think the location of this info is somewhat misleading, it probably should have the citation corrected and placed otherwhere in the page.--Accalvaster (talk) 00:31, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

The source is Darryl Hannah's book Michael and Christ: Michael Tradition and Angel Christology, pages 33-54. The wide page range is because it's referencing a number of things, but page 41 says this: "The lost ending of the Assumption of Moses, as attested in Jude 9, apparently portrayed Michael contesting Satan's legal claim over the body of Moses." The Assumption (or Testament) of Moses is from the 1st century, making this a Second Temple work. There are other references to the Deuteronomy Rabbah (not Deuteronomy) and to Ginzberg's Legends of the Jews testifying to a later period of Judaism. Achar Sva (talk) 00:54, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
