EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, depicts a powerful biblical scene from the Book of Numbers. The artwork showcases "The Daughters of Zelophehad preferring their Request to Moses" as they courageously approach the revered leader with their plea. In this Old Testament story, these brave women challenge societal norms and advocate for gender equality within their community. With determination etched on their faces, they stand before Moses, presenting their case for inheriting land rights after the death of their father. Their request is met with curiosity and contemplation by Moses and his advisors. This thought-provoking image beautifully captures a pivotal moment in history when women's voices were rising against injustice. It serves as a timeless reminder that strength knows no gender boundaries and that every individual deserves equal opportunities. Engraved originally for Cassells Illustrated Family Bible Superior Edition in 1880, this illustration has become an iconic representation of resilience and empowerment found within religious texts. Its inclusion in various editions throughout time highlights its enduring significance across generations. As we gaze upon this print today, let us reflect on the power of unity and determination displayed by these extraordinary daughters who dared to challenge tradition. May it inspire us to champion justice and equality in our own lives while honoring those who paved the way towards progress centuries ago.
