Eli perceived that the Lord had called the child, 19th century. Creator: H Robinson
Eli perceived that the Lord had called the child, 19th century. Biblical scene, from 1 Samuel 3: 8: And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child. God calls the young Samuel, who at first mistakes his voice for that of Eli, High Priest of Shiloh. God tells Samuel that the wickedness of the sons of Eli has resulted in their dynasty being condemned to destruction. He is reluctant to pass this information to Eli. Engraving after Samuel Relating to Eli the Judgements of God upon Elis House, a painting of 1780 by John Singleton Copley, in the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Connecticut, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Eli perceived that the Lord had called the child" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a biblical scene from 1 Samuel 3:8. The image depicts the moment when God calls upon young Samuel, who initially mistakes His voice for that of Eli, the High Priest of Shiloh. Intriguingly, this print is an engraving after John Singleton Copley's painting "Relating to Eli the Judgements of God upon Elis House". It beautifully portrays Eli's realization that it is indeed God who has summoned Samuel. The old man's face reflects both awe and understanding as he perceives divine intervention unfolding before him. The composition skillfully conveys faith and belief through its depiction of these religious figures. The bearded figure of Eli stands tall beside a temple-like structure while holding an ewer and jug symbolizing his priestly duties. Meanwhile, young Samuel appears humble yet curious in his response to God's call. The artist H Robinson masterfully captures this pivotal moment in religious history with great attention to detail. Through their work, they invite viewers into a world where spirituality intertwines with human experience. As we gaze at this remarkable print today, we are reminded not only of ancient Jewish traditions but also of our own spiritual journeys. It serves as a powerful reminder that sometimes even those closest to us may misinterpret or misunderstand our calling from a higher power. Ultimately though, it encourages us to have faith in our ability to discern and respond when divinity beckons us forward on our unique paths.
