Midrash: Moshe’s Role in Creation
Question
I recreantly came across an academic publication in which a Jewish professor made the statement that Jewish patriarchs, like Yakob and Moshe, were credited with a role in creation according to Jewish midrash. I am aware of a post-Talmudic midrash, Pirke Rabi Eliezer, in which Yakob's stone in Genesis 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
