Biblical Parallels Index – Shemot 14
Akeidat Yitzchak and the Splitting of the Sea
Sources
- Bereshit Rabbah 55:8 points out parallels between the stories of the Akeidah and of the Splitting of the Sea. There are a number of linguistic and thematic parallels between the two stories
Articles
- See עקידת יצחק וקריעת ים סוף, by R. Eliyahu Shai, for analysis of the commonalities between these two narratives. R. Shai suggests that Avraham’s actions at the Akeidah pave the way, in a metaphysical sense, for his descendants’ experience of Hashem’s revelation at the Yam Suf.
