The Chronicle of Moses (Hebrew: דברי הימים של משה, Dibre ha-Yamim shel Mosheh) is one of the smaller midrashim.
Written in Hebrew in a close imitation of Biblical style, it presents a history of the life of Moses embellished with many legends.
Extracts were made from the chronicle by the author of Midrash Wayosha; and it was one of the sources of Shemot Rabbah; it was likewise cited in the Arukh, by Ibn Ezra (who rejects it as apocryphal in his commentary on Exodus 2:22), and by Samuel ben Meir on Book of Numbers.
[5] Émile Turdeanu argued that the translation was made in the circle of the Novgorod Judaizers shortly before 1477, the date of the earliest manuscript of which he knew.
[5] Moshe Taube pushes the date of translation back to the late 14th or early 15th century based on a copy of the Life in the Barsov Paleja.
