Biblical Parallels Index – Bereshit 33
Yaakov and Esav, Moshe and Aharon
There are parallels between the narrative of the anticipated reunion of Yaakov and Esav in Bereshit 32-33 and the reunion of Moshe and Aharon in Shemot 4.1
Tools
- Concordance – The concordance demonstrates that the root "פגש" appears only four times in Torah, twice in each of these stories, perhaps a linguistic hint to compare the two.
Articles
- See Moses in Danger, by R. Alex Israel, for an exploration of these parallel stories, who suggests that both relate to a character's avoidance of a mission and the repercussions of such delay.2
