1690 Biblical Gideon Judges Sacrifice Testament
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 17th-century print depicts the pivotal moment from the Old Testament book of Judges, known as Gideon's Sacrifice. The scene unfolds as the Israelite warrior, Gideon, stands before an altar of Baal, holding a fleece filled with the dew of the night, while a servant pours out a libation of wine. According to the biblical narrative, Gideon was called upon by God to lead the Israelites against the Midianites, who had been oppressing them for seven long years. In response to Gideon's doubt and uncertainty, God performed a series of miraculous signs to prove His presence and commitment to the cause. This print captures the decisive moment when Gideon, having witnessed the dew miracle, prepares to offer a sacrifice to God in acknowledgment of His power and faithfulness. The image is imbued with a sense of solemnity and reverence, as Gideon's act of devotion marks a turning point in the history of the Israelite people. The intricate details of the print, from the textured fabric of the robes to the delicate folds of the fleece, transport us back to the ancient world and invite us to reflect on the enduring power of faith and obedience.
