   תאריך פרסום: תשעב | |

   Eliyahu is one of the most misunderstood characters in all of Tanach.

2. The Narrative Integrity of Chapters 17-19 and its Components (Part 1)

   Appendix A

   Rabbi Elchanan Samet

   Chapters 17-19 are comprised of three stories: The drought, the test at Carmel and the Revelation at Chorev.

   Appendix B

   Rabbi Elchanan Samet

   Chapters 17-19 should be regarded as a single, lengthy, literary whole. At the same time, though, we should not ignore the fact that this whole is composed of three semi-independent units which differ from one another.

Eliyahu's flight at the beginning of the story makes sense only against the background of the two previous stories - and particularly in light of the events at Carmel.
