EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from the Thomas Bankes Bible, created in the late 18th century, depicts a pivotal moment in the Old Testament narrative of Genesis 15:17. In this scene, the Glory of the Lord passes between the sacrifices offered up by Abram (Abraham), signifying God's unwavering covenant with him and his descendants. The intricately detailed print showcases the divine presence as a radiant, fiery manifestation, with God's heavenly host encircling the scene. Abram, dressed in the attire of the time, is seen kneeling in reverence before the altar, his hands extended in offering. The flames of the sacrificial fire flicker and dance, casting an orange glow over the scene. The Thomas Bankes Bible, created in the 1780s, is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic skill of the era. The illustrations, such as this one, were produced using the finest materials and techniques available, resulting in a visual representation of the sacred text that continues to captivate and inspire viewers today. This image of the Glory of the Lord passing between Abram's sacrifices is a powerful reminder of the unbreakable bond between God and His people, as well as the importance of faith and obedience in maintaining that relationship. The image invites us to reflect on the depth of God's love and commitment to His people, as well as our own role in upholding the covenant.
