EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print from the Cologne Bible, created between 1478 and 1480, we witness a significant moment in biblical history. Moses, the revered leader of the Israelites, bestows his blessing upon Joshua as he kneels before him. This powerful act symbolizes the passing of leadership from one generation to another. The scene takes place as described in Numbers 27:18-23 of the Old Testament. Moses, donning a distinctive hat that signifies his authority, raises his hand towards Joshua while invoking God's blessings upon him. The solemnity and reverence with which both men are depicted highlight their deep faith and commitment to their people. This medieval German woodcut beautifully captures the essence of this sacred event within Christianity and Judaism alike. It serves as a reminder of the importance of succession planning and continuity in leadership for any community or organization. The intricate details carved into this piece showcase not only artistic skill but also an understanding of religious iconography prevalent during that era. The inclusion of a bird soaring above adds an element of divine presence overseeing this pivotal moment. As we gaze at this historical artwork, let us reflect on our own roles as leaders and how we can inspire others through our actions just like Moses did with Joshua centuries ago.
