EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Aaron veiled Moses present Israelites tablets" takes us back in time to witness a significant moment in biblical history. The title page for David Martin's "History of the Old and New Testaments" beautifully captures the essence of this profound event. On a grand pedestal, we see the high priest Aaron standing beside Moses, whose face is veiled. Surrounding them are the Jewish people, eagerly awaiting what is about to unfold. With great reverence, Moses reveals the tables of the law to his fellow Israelites. In awe and wonderment, they observe as their leader imparts divine wisdom upon them. In the background, we catch a glimpse of both ancient symbols and future events. The tetragram symbolizes God's presence and power while an artistic representation of Christ's ascension reminds us of His ultimate sacrifice for humanity. Moses' face is depicted with radiant rays or horns, symbolizing his divine connection with God during this extraordinary encounter. As he descends with new tablets in hand, Aaron and the assembled crowd notice that his face shines brilliantly - evidence of his direct communion with divinity. This remarkable engraving by Gilliam van der Gouwen transports us into a pivotal moment in Jewish religious history. It serves as a reminder not only of our spiritual roots but also highlights how faith can illuminate even the darkest corners of our lives.
