How do we know that Moses was reincarnated as Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai?


When Moses went to Mount Sinai to get the Torah, it is described as

 עָלִיתָ לַמָּרוֹם, שָׁבִיתָ שֶּׁבִי

You went up and captured a captive


שֶּׁבִי 


is Shimon Bar Yochai


Moses captured the soul of Shimon bat Yochai for his future incarnation.
