| − | <category>Structure | + | Tanakh Lab demonstrates that one of the chapters most similar to Bereshit 35 is Bereshit 28, which narrates Yaakov’s journey from his father’s house.  There are a number of parallels of language and plot, including: Hashem’s blessings, the establishment of stone matzevot, the location and naming of Beit El, and the name E-l Sha-ddai, with which Yitzchak blesses Yaakov in Bereshit 28 and Hashem identifies Himself in Bereshit 35.  <br/><br/>Bereshit 28 tells of Yaakov’s journey away from his father’s house in fear of Esav, while Bereshit 35 tells of his journey back to his father’s house and his burying Yitzchak together with Esav.  Whereas in Bereshit 28 Yaakov was a solitary traveler, in Bereshit 35 he travels with his household and inspires fear in the surrounding cities.  This envelope structure gives a sense of closure and harmony to Yaakov’s story, as in coming chapters the Torah will focus on the story of his sons. <br/><br/> |
