Why is the body of Moses significant in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The contention over the body of Moses symbolizes the struggle between divine authority and the accusations of Satan regarding God's law.

The dispute over the body of Moses, as mentioned in Jude 9, is not primarily about Moses' physical body but reflects a deeper theological contention regarding the law and God's promise of redemption. Moses represents the law which condemns, and Satan, as the accuser, seeks to use the law against God's people. However, Christ, represented by Michael, the archangel, counters these accusations, showing that believers are justified by grace rather than by the works of the law. This incident serves to highlight the assurance believers have in Christ's mediatorial work which secures their standing before God, irrespective of their failings under the law.
