Biblical Parallels Index – Shemot 3
Moshe and Yehoshua
Tools
- Makbilot Bamikra points out a parallel between Hashem’s command to Moshe to remove his shoes and the same command to Yehoshua at Yericho.
- Tanakh Lab1 demonstrates that one of the chapters most linguistically similar to Shemot 3 is Yehoshua 5, which includes Hashem’s revelation to Yehoshua at Yericho in which he removes his shoes. Compare the two here.
Articles
- See Moshe and Yehoshua for an exploration of the parallels between the prophecy and leadership of these two leaders, and the meaning of these connections.
Initiation Prophecies It is fruitful to compare and contrast Moshe’s initial prophecy (נבואת הקדשה) with others, such as Gideon (Shofetim Chapter 6), Shemuel (Shemuel I Chapter 3), Yeshayahu (Yeshayahu Chapter 6), Yirmeyahu (Yirmeyahu Chapter 1), and Yechezkel (Ycehezkel Chapter 1), in order to note the similarities and differences that reflect the unique personality and mission of each prophet.
Articles
- Among the most salient aspects of Moshe’s initial prophecy is his great reluctance to accept his mission. Several of Nechama Leibowitz’s gilyonot on this chapter focus on understanding Moshe’s reluctance.
- See Before I Formed You in the Belly I Knew You: Yirmiyahu’s Prophecy of Consecration, by R. David Sabato, for analysis of the essential components of prophecies of consecration, with a focus on Yirmeyahu.
- See Shemuel’s Consecration Prophecy by R. Amnon Bazak for comparison of Moshe’s and Shemuel’s consecration prophecies.
