EDITORS COMMENTS
Jacob's Emotional Reunion with His Birthplace (Genesis 31, circa 1690) This evocative image captures the poignant moment of Jacob's return to the land of his birth, as depicted in the Old Testament book of Genesis. Jacob, the patriarch of the twelve tribes of Israel, had been living in Haran for many years after fleeing from his brother Esau's wrath. However, God appeared to him in a dream and instructed him to return to the land of Canaan and reunite with his family. In this 17th-century illustration, we see Jacob standing before a simple wooden gate, his face etched with a mixture of emotions as he gazes upon the familiar landscape. The rolling hills and verdant fields of his homeland stretch out before him, a stark contrast to the barren wilderness he had endured during his long journey. The sun sets behind him, casting a warm glow over the scene, as if heralding a new beginning for the beloved patriarch. The artist masterfully captures the sense of nostalgia and longing that pervades this moment, as Jacob is reunited with the land and people that hold the keys to his past and the promise of his future. The Old Testament comes alive in this beautiful print, inviting us to reflect on the enduring power of faith, family, and the deep connection between the human heart and the land of our birth.
