EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Stoning the spies" captures a powerful biblical scene from the Old Testament. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a moment of punishment and religious significance. The image depicts a group of Jews stoning two spies, as described in the book of Numbers in the Hebrew Bible. The scene takes place during Moses' leadership of the Israelites after their escape from Egypt in Exodus. In this particular event, twelve spies were sent to explore Canaan, but upon their return, ten gave negative reports that discouraged the people. As a consequence for their lack of faith and trust in God's promise to deliver them to a land flowing with milk and honey, these two dissenting spies faced severe consequences - being stoned by their own people. This engraving not only serves as an artistic representation but also highlights themes such as loyalty, obedience, and divine judgment present within Judaism and Christianity. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on religious teachings found within both traditions while appreciating historical storytelling through visual art. Displayed against a backdrop of intricate details and vibrant colors typical of engravings from that era, this print invites us into ancient times where faith was tested and lessons were learned through harsh punishments like stoning. A valuable addition to any collection or display exploring religious narratives or biblical stories.
