Additional Information
The success of Abraham and Moses stands in contrast to the failure of the
prophet Elijah. After his triumph on Mt. Carmel over the priests of Baal, Elijah is
targeted for assassination by Queen Jezebel. Fleeing for his life to the wilderness
of Judea, he prays for death. Instead, G-d has him journey for 40 days and 40
nights to Mt. Sinai where he enters a cave. There, G-d asks him, “What are you
doing here, Elijah?” At that moment, with all the echo of Moses’ experience
sounding in our ears, we expect Elijah to mount a Moses-like defense of the
people. Overcome by his love for G-d, Elijah instead twice provides a brief for
the guilt of Israel. Seeking a “people’s defender” like Moses, G-d got instead a
prosecuting attorney.
