Biblical Parallels Index – Bereshit 24
Avraham and Rivka
Tools
- Tanakh Lab1 demonstrates that Bereshit 24 contains many linguistic parallels to Bereshit 12. This highlights the similarities between the stories of Avraham and of Rivka, both of whom both make a decision to journey to Canaan and to separate from their places of birth so as to establish the Jewish people.2 See here to compare the two chapters.
Articles
- See חיי שרה: דמותה של רבקה by R. Amnon Bazak for an exploration of the parallels between the personalities and choices of Avraham and Rivka.
Lavan, Lot, and Avraham
Tools
- Tanakh Lab – One can use the Tanakh Lab to compare Lavan’s hospitality in Bereshit 24 with that of Avraham in Bereshit 18 on one hand, and with that of Lot in Bereshit 19 on the other hand. One difference in the story of Lavan is the statement in 24:30 that Lavan noticed the jewelry that had been given to Rivka before inviting Avraham’s servant into his house, suggesting (as Rashi notes) that Lavan's hospitality was motivated by self-interest.
