EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Moses breaking the tables of the law, Exodus XXXII, ver 19" depicts a powerful moment from biblical history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases Moses' intense anger and frustration as he shatters the stone tablets inscribed with God's commandments. The image is part of Alexander Fletcher's "Scripture History designed for the Improvement of Youth" published by George Virtue in 1839. It beautifully captures Moses' righteous fury after witnessing his people worshiping a golden calf while he was receiving divine instructions on Mount Sinai. In this scene, Moses stands before a group of Israelites who have strayed from their faith. With heavenly authority granted to him by God himself, Moses raises his hand high above his head and forcefully smashes the sacred tablets against a rock. The shattered pieces symbolize not only Israel's sin but also their broken covenant with God. The artist skillfully portrays Moses as both a ruler and a vessel for divine justice. As we gaze upon this engraving, we can almost feel the weight of Moses' emotions—his anger at his people's betrayal and his unwavering commitment to upholding God's eternal word. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder that even great leaders like Moses are not immune to human emotion and struggle when faced with disobedience. It invites us to reflect on our own actions and consider how we uphold our moral responsibilities in times of adversity or temptation.
