The Levite, a Jewish high priest and important figure in ancient Israel, played various roles throughout biblical history. In the Parable of the Good Samaritan, depicted beautifully by Gustave Dore in an engraving from the 19th century, we see how a Levite passed by a wounded man on the road. This story teaches us about compassion and kindness. Another significant moment involving a Levite is when Aaron threw his staff which transformed into a serpent. This colored depiction showcases the power and miracles associated with these priests. In another engraving by Gustave Dore titled "The Levite finding the corpse of the woman, " we witness a solemn scene where this religious figure discovers tragedy. It reminds us that even those dedicated to serving God are not immune to sorrow. Furthermore, Hebrew slaves returning to Jerusalem as described in the Bible highlights how Levites were instrumental in guiding their people back home after years of captivity. Le Vocabulaire Illustre provides an engraving illustrating what it means to be a Levite or "Levit. " These depictions help us visualize their role within society. Returning to biblical parables, Landscapes with Old and New Testament Scenes presents The Parable of the Good Samaritan once again. This time it emphasizes how this tale resonates through different artistic interpretations across centuries. Delving deeper into their lineage, engravings depict The High Priest of Judaism along with genealogy records tracing back to Levi's priestly family. These images highlight both their esteemed position and ancestral connections. However, not all stories surrounding they are uplifting; some portray darker moments like abuse suffered by one's wife or bearing away bodies as seen in Gustave Dore's Bible engravings. These somber scenes remind us that even those chosen for sacred duties face trials and tribulations just like anyone else. Lastly, frescoes such as "The Punishment of Korah, Dathan and Abiram" depict the consequences faced by those who challenged the authority of Levites.
