Moses as Lawgiver
- ref. to "Moses" or "Book/law of Moses" seems to point to the Pentateuch (560; Mark 12.26; 1.44; 10.3-5; 12.19)
One Like Moses
- Transfiguration (Mk 9.2-10)
- 40 days (Exod 24.18; 34.29; 1 Kgs 19.8)
- theophany (Exod 19-24; 32-34; 1 Kgs 19.8-18)
- remarkable departure from this life (Deut 34.1-6; 2 Kgs 2.1-12)
- Moses and Elijah together (Mal 4.4-6)
- "face shone" (Exod 34.29-35)
- cloud, as in the Exodus (Exod 19.9, 16; 24.15-18; 34.5)
- voice from the cloud (Exod 24.16)
- "listen to him", said also of Moses (Deut 18.14-19)
- Mountain typology - Mark features the symbol of the mountain, which serves as a place of revelation for Jesus as it had for Moses (561).
- ref. to wilderness, esp. feeding in the wilderness (Exod 16.1, 3, 10, 14, 32; cf. Deut 8.2)
- going up the mountain to pray (Mk 6.32, 35, 46)
- Events in Moses' life foreshadow Jesus' life
- Passover lamb whose bones are not broken (Exod 12.46; Num 9.12) and "the blood of the covenant" (Exod 24.8; Mk 14.24) foreshadow Jesus' death, though explicit ref. to Moses is lacking (562).
