EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century engraving, titled "Collection of Manna, according to the Hebrew Bible, when the Israelites fled into Sinai, Exodus from Egypt" takes us back to a significant moment in biblical history. The image depicts a place where twelve wells of water and seventy date palms provided sustenance for the Israelites during their escape from Egypt. Created by Swiss scholar Johann Jakob Scheuchzer, this artwork is part of his renowned work "Physique sacree, ou Histoire-naturelle de la Bible" (1732-1737). Born in Zurich in 1672, Scheuchzer dedicated his life to studying various aspects of nature and science as they related to biblical texts. In this particular scene, he beautifully captures the miraculous event described in the Hebrew Bible - manna falling from heaven to nourish the wandering Israelites. The combination of intricate details and skillful craftsmanship transports viewers back in time and allows them to witness this divine intervention firsthand. Scheuchzer's engraving not only showcases his artistic talent but also serves as a testament to his deep reverence for religious narratives. It stands as a reminder of how art can bridge gaps between faiths and cultures while preserving important historical events. As we gaze upon this print today, it sparks curiosity about ancient traditions and reminds us of our shared human experiences across different times and places.
