[Avodah] Ki Seitzei and Yaaqov

[Micha Berger]

I have a half-developed idea about the parallels between this week's
parashah and the events in the second-half of seifer Bereishis. Bevause
I only have the start of an idea, I thought that it may be fun to
bat around here.

What started this notion was when I noticed that the Racheil is described
as "yefas to'ar". Then we have Yitzchaq's wayward son, Eisav. Yoseif,
the bekhor ben ha'ahuvah. And Yoseif is sent to be killed and left
there. (Unlike the person who must be taken down off the tree.) The ox
driven away, a plausible Yoseif reference as well. As is the shaatnez
garment. The lying husband, the rape victim -- Dinah? Etc...

:-)BBii!
