EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative late 19th century image, the biblical figure of Moses is depicted striking a rock with a staff, bringing forth a life-giving waterfall in the arid desert landscape. The Old Testament story of this miraculous event is recounted in the Book of Exodus, where God commands Moses to strike the rock at Meribah, located in the wilderness of Zin. The Israelites, having wandered for many days without water, were growing restless and thirsty, their spirits flagging. With the strike of Moses' staff, water gushed forth from the rock, filling jugs and quenching the thirst of the people and their children. The image captures the moment of relief and gratitude, as the Israelites drink deeply from the flowing water, their faces expressing joy and relief. The rock, now transformed into a source of life, stands as a testament to the power of faith and God's provision for his people in their time of need.
