Biblical Parallels Index – Devarim 2
Overview
This index is meant to help the reader explore Biblical parallels, be they two accounts of the same event or law, stories with similar motifs and themes, or units of text which are linguistically similar and perhaps alluding one to the other. The page includes links to tools that aid in comparison, primary sources that touch upon the parallels, and summaries of and links to articles which analyze them in depth.Battle Against Sichon and Og
Israel's conquest of Arvot Moav from Sichon is originally described in Bemidbar 21:21-35 and then recounted by Moshe to the nation in Devarim 2, and by Yftach to the Ammonites in Shofetim 11:1-33 (the haftarah of Parashat Chukkat).
Tools
- The Tanakh Lab demonstrates that the two chapters most linguistically similar to Bemidbar 21 are Devarim 2 and Shofetim 11,1 both of which recount the war. To compare the chapters to each other, see here and here.
Articles
- See Battles with Sichon and Og in Bemidbar and Devarim for a comparison of the account of the battle in Bemidbar and Moshe's retelling of it in Devarim. In contrast to most of the other stories in Sefer Devarim which are shorter than the original, here there are numerous additions. Many of these can be accounted for in light of Moshe's goal in the retelling was to instill confidence in the nation that they will be successful in conquering the Land of Israel.
