Bible Copperplate Israelites Judeo Christian Make Moses Numbers Plague Serpent Serpents Snake Told Bitten Brazen Disobedience Intercede Punish Recover
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) depicts a significant biblical event that showcases both the wrath and mercy of God. In this scene, we witness the aftermath of the Israelites' disobedience, as God sends a plague of serpents to punish them. The engraving beautifully captures the intensity and drama surrounding this divine retribution. However, amidst their suffering, the Israelites repent and turn to Moses for intercession. Moved by their remorseful pleas, God instructs Moses to create a brazen serpent. This peculiar solution offers hope to those bitten by these venomous creatures - they are told to simply look upon the serpent and find recovery. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to contemplate not only our own actions but also how faith can lead us towards redemption. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in moments of punishment or despair, there is always an opportunity for forgiveness and healing. As we delve into this profound religious narrative found in Numbers 21:5 of the Bible, we are reminded of its significance within Judeo-Christian traditions. The copperplate engraving itself adds an air of antiquity and reverence to this timeless tale. In summary, this evocative print encapsulates both divine justice and mercy through its portrayal of God's punishment on disobedient Israelites transformed into an avenue for repentance and recovery.
