Rebekah

Description

This engraving is a visual interpretation of the story of Rebekah in the Book of Genesis of the Old Testament, drawing particular inspiration from Genesis 24:22–30. Abraham's faithful servant Eliezer, sent to Mesopotamia to find a wife for Isaac, encountered Rebekah, the young woman designated by God, and gifted her a nose ring (or gold earring) and two bracelets. In this engraving, the gold bracelet on Rebekah's arm and the gold chain-shaped object she holds in her hand are symbolic traces of this sacred moment. Eliezer's gifts are not merely material gifts; they are also symbols of God's will manifested in the world. The water Rebekah offers with humility and grace reflects her inner virtue, while the bracelets symbolize divine chosenness. The simple background and soft color tones in the engraving celebrate Rebekah's spiritual purity, humble demeanor, and willing participation in God's plan.
