Luke9:30
[Moses and Elias.] The Jews have a fiction that Moses shall come with Elias when Elias himself comes. "The holy blessed God said to Moses, 'As thou hast given thy life for Israel in this world, so in the ages to come, when I shall bring Elias the prophet amongst them, you two shall come together'"...
They also feign that Moses was raised up at the same time with Samuel by the witch of Endor:
"Samuel thought that day had been the day of judgment, and therefore he raised Moses along with himself."
"Moses did not die [for the just die not]; but went up into the highest, to minister before God."
