Biblical Burst Camel Desert Dore Exodus Forth Moses Oasis Testament
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving by Gustave Doré depicts the biblical story of Moses bringing forth water from the rock, as recorded in the Book of Exodus (17:1-7). In this historic moment, Moses, the chosen leader of the Israelites, stands before a thirsty crowd in the heart of the desert, surrounded by camels and weary travelers. With a staff in hand and God's divine intervention, Moses strikes the rock, and water bursts forth, creating an unexpected oasis in the arid landscape. The Old Testament narrative recounts how the Israelites, having been led out of Egypt by Moses, were journeying through the desert when they grew tired and thirsty. God instructed Moses to strike the rock, and from it, water flowed, quenching the Israelites' thirst and reinforcing their faith in their leader and their God. This image, created by the masterful hand of Gustave Doré, serves as a testament to the power of faith and the transformative effect it can have on even the most challenging circumstances. The intricate details of the engraving, from the folds in the robes of the figures to the textures of the rock and the sand, transport us back to that moment in history and invite us to reflect on the enduring power of religious stories and their ability to inspire and uplift.
