Mozes voor Farao

Moses stands in the royal court of Egypt, staff in hand, facing Pharaoh seated upon a golden throne. Beside Moses is Aaron, while guards, attendants, and Egyptian musicians fill the palace chamber beneath columns and hieroglyphs. The confrontation centers on God’s command, “Let my people go,” as Moses speaks for the Lord before the ruler who holds Israel in bondage. The scene reflects the opening conflict of Exodus: divine authority confronting imperial power. Pharaoh’s splendor, soldiers, and courtly ceremony emphasize Egypt’s might, while Moses’ simple staff becomes the sign of a greater authority. For teaching, preaching, and Bible study, the artwork highlights obedience, deliverance, and the beginning of the Exodus story.
