Biblical Parallels Index – Bereshit 21

This topic has not yet undergone editorial review

The Two Banishments of Hagar

It is difficult to understand the story of the banishment of Hagar and Yishmael in Bereshit 21 without comparing it to the parallel narrative about Hagar in Bereshit 16.

Tools

  • Use the Tanakh Lab to compare the two stories. There are not as many linguistic parallels as one might have expected given the similar content of the stories. One surprising parallel is the repeated motif of "eyes" in both narratives.

Articles

Akeidat Yitzchak and Yishmael There are many points of comparison and contrast between the stories of the expulsion of Yishmael and Akeidat Yitzchak. In fact, Tanakh Lab1 reveals that one of the chapters which is most linguistically similar to Bereshit 21 is Bereshit 22. 

Tools

  • Use the Tanakh Lab to compare the two stories and find linguistic similarities here.
