  • Your title and question seem to ask two different questions. In your question, you seem to be accepting that the Torah doesn't know (or doesn't tell us, at least), and asking if there is any value in concocting such connections. Commented Jun 7, 2015 at 21:12
  • @yEz I am concerned with: if the Torah 'knows', then how can we know? Does anyone know? If they do know, then how do they know (sensationalist Judaism, or legitimate endeavour)? If they don't know, then is it still a legitimate approach to invent allegorical connections? Commented Jun 7, 2015 at 21:21
