NOTE

The Relationship Between Narrative Patterns and Earlier Stories in a Podcast

This passage raises intriguing questions about the relationship between narratives. It explores the concept of reading one story in the light of an earlier story and how much the message of the earlier story influences the later story. The narrator wants us to make connections between the people at the mountain and figures like Abraham and Adam and Eve. There are clear parallels to Genesis, highlighting the importance of not touching the mountain, similar to not touching the tree in Eve's story. The decision of the people to have Moses go up the mountain on their behalf parallels God telling Moses not to come any closer at the burning bush. This suggests that Moses serves as a mediator, receiving the blueprints for the tabernacle to establish appropriate boundaries for approaching God.
