1690 Biblical Numbers Swallowed Testament Abiram Dathan Korah
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century print depicts a pivotal moment from the Old Testament book of Numbers, chapter 16, known as the rebellion of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. The trio, along with 250 other Israelites, challenged Moses and Aaron's leadership, accusing them of favoritism and elitism. God, in response, called upon the earth to swallow them up, along with their families and all their possessions. The image captures the moment of divine retribution, with the ground opening up beneath the feet of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, as they and their families are swallowed up by the earth. The print, created in the late 1600s, is a visual representation of the biblical narrative and serves as a reminder of the consequences of challenging God's chosen leaders. The intricately detailed engraving showcases the artistic skill of the time, with each figure depicted in a state of shock and disbelief as they are consumed by the earth. The use of dramatic lighting and perspective adds to the sense of otherworldliness and the supernatural nature of the event. The print is a testament to the enduring power of the Old Testament stories, which continue to captivate and inspire generations. It is a visual representation of the consequences of rebellion and the importance of faith and obedience to God's will.
