EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image showcases the opening from the Book of Exodus in the Old Testament Irish Bible, translated by William Bedell in 1685. The right-hand page displays the text from the end of chapter 5 and the start of chapter 6. The intricately designed page is adorned with elaborate decorative elements, including intricate patterns and ornate initials. The text is written in Old Irish, reflecting the rich linguistic and cultural heritage of Ireland during the 17th century. William Bedell, a renowned translator, dedicated himself to bringing the scriptures to the people of Ireland in their native language. The Bedell Bible, as it came to be known, was a significant achievement in the history of Irish Christianity, providing the Irish population with access to the Bible in a language they could understand and connect with. The image of the opening from the Book of Exodus offers a glimpse into the beauty and intricacy of the manuscript, which is a testament to the importance of the Bible in Irish history and culture. The text from Exodus recounts the story of God's intervention in the lives of the Israelites, who were enslaved in Egypt. The chapter ends with God's promise to Moses to deliver the Israelites from their oppressors and begin a new chapter in their history. The start of chapter 6 reveals God's plan to use Moses as His instrument in leading the Israelites to freedom. This image is a captivating reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of the Bible in Ireland and the world, and the enduring power of the written word to inspire and connect people across generations and borders.
