1690 Biblical Israelite Israelites Jordan Joshua Journey Passage Testament Travelling
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print depicts a pivotal moment in biblical history: The Israelites' Passage Over Jordan as recorded in the Book of Joshua (Chapter 3-4). In this image, the Israelites, led by the priestly figure carrying the Ark of the Covenant, are seen wading through the Jordan River, with the walls of Jericho in the distance. The Jordan River, traditionally depicted as wide and deep, is miraculously parted, allowing the Israelites to cross on dry ground. The Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land was a long and arduous one, filled with trials and tribulations. After years of wandering in the wilderness, they were finally on the verge of entering the land that God had promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The crossing of the Jordan River marked the beginning of their new life in the land of Canaan. This print, created in the late 1600s, is a testament to the enduring power of biblical stories to inspire and captivate. The intricate details of the print, from the horses and riders to the Israelites carrying their belongings, transport us back in time to this momentous occasion. The use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a visual feast for the eyes. The Old Testament, and the story of the Israelites' journey, continues to be a source of inspiration for people of all faiths and backgrounds. This print serves as a reminder of the power of faith, determination, and perseverance in the face of adversity. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of staying true to one's beliefs and values, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
