Moses Before the Rock of Horeb

Moses stands in the wilderness with his staff raised before a rugged rock face as the gathered Israelites watch from the desert path. Men, women, and children surround him in expectant silence, framed by barren hills that emphasize the people’s need during their journey after the exodus. The scene points to Exodus 17, where the Lord commands Moses to strike the rock at Horeb so that water will come out for the thirsty congregation. The staff, the rock, and the waiting multitude declare God’s provision in a place of human impossibility. For teaching and ministry use, this artwork speaks to divine care, wilderness testing, and the faithfulness of God to sustain His covenant people. by Review & Herald Publishing
