ILLUSTRATING THE PENTATEUCH

The title of my blog is "The Bible Explained and Illustrated," but some of you may be wondering where the illustrations are. Most of them were posted years ago and do not appear on my more recent postings. Each one contains, besides the original artwork itself, a short description of the piece and the Bible passage. So I am going to provide a listing of all those available, beginning with the first five books of the Bible, which are filled with interesting and edifying stories. The best way to search for these is to enter the title of the picture in the search box together with the optional key words given below:
