Joshua Commanding the Sun to Stand Still
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating 19th century engraving from the Dore Bible Illustrations, depicting an iconic episode from the Old Testament book of Joshua (10:13). In this powerful scene, the Israelite leader, Joshua, is shown with outstretched arms, commanding the sun and moon to halt in their tracks. The sun, a radiant orb, is depicted as a large, fiery disk, suspended in mid-air above the battlefield, while the moon, a crescent, remains still beside it. The background of the print reveals the chaos of the battlefield below, with the Israelite tribes engaged in fierce combat against their enemies from the land of Canaan. The scene is filled with the clash of swords, the cries of warriors, and the dust and smoke of battle. The Israelites, under the leadership of Joshua and Yahweh, are determined to avenge themselves upon their enemies and conquer the promised land. This engraving is a stunning representation of the ancient Israelite belief in the power of their God to intervene in the natural world to aid them in their battles. The scene is imbued with a sense of awe and reverence, as the Israelites stand in the midst of the miraculous event, their faith unwavering in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textured armor of the warriors to the expressive faces of the figures, bring the biblical narrative to life in a vivid and compelling way. The use of color adds depth and richness to the image, making it a beautiful and sacred work of art that continues to inspire and captivate viewers to this day. Whether viewed through the lens of Christianity, Judaism, or simply as a work of historical significance, this engraving is a testament to the enduring power of the biblical narrative and the human spirit.
