Mi´chael (who as God?), the name given to one of the chief angels, who, in , is described as having special charge of the Israelites as a nation; and in , as disputing with Satan about the body of Moses, in which dispute, instead of bringing against the arch-enemy any railing accusation, he only said, 'The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan!' Again, in , Michael and his angels are represented as warring with Satan and his angels in the upper regions, from which the latter are cast down upon the earth. This is all the reference to Michael which we find in the Bible.
