Absence Breaks Commandments Gods Israelites L Aw Moses Strange Tables Testament
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image depicts the biblical figure of Moses, shown here in a moment of righteous indignation as he shatters the Tables of the Law. The Tables of the Law, also known as the Ten Commandments, were two stone tablets inscribed with the laws given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai. According to the Old Testament book of Exodus, during Moses' extended absence from the Israelite camp, the people turned away from God and began to worship idols. Upon discovering this betrayal, a furious Moses returned to find the people engaged in this act of spiritual infidelity. In response, he threw down the Tables of the Law, shattering them into pieces. This historical event is a significant one in the religious and cultural traditions of the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic faiths, and has been depicted in art and literature throughout the centuries. The image before you, from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a striking and dramatic representation of this pivotal moment in biblical history. The strange and otherworldly atmosphere of the scene, with its darkened sky and ominous clouds, serves to heighten the sense of divine wrath and the consequences of straying from the path of righteousness. The image also speaks to the enduring power of religious texts and the role they play in shaping our moral and ethical frameworks. The Ten Commandments, as inscribed on these tablets, continue to be a source of guidance and inspiration for billions of people around the world. This powerful and evocative image serves as a reminder of the importance of staying true to our faith and the potential consequences of straying from the path of righteousness.
