Patriarchs’ role in Creation

Question:

I recentely came across an academic publication in which a Jewish professor made the statement to the affect that Jewish patriarchs like Yakob and Moshe were credited with a role in creation in Jewish midrash. I am aware of a post-talmudic midrash Pirke Rabi Eliezer in which Yakob’s stone in Bereshit 28:18 is taken to represent the navel of the earth. Are you aware of any texts/teachings that say similar things regarding Moshe’s supposed role in Creation? Thank you.

Answer:

Hello,

Please send me the publication, so I can see what you mean.

Thanks
