The 9th Coin in the "Biblical Art" Series
While Moses the shepherd was tending his sheep in the desert, he beheld a bush that was burning without being consumed. Out of this bush, God appeared to Moses and spoke to him of the suffering of the Children of Israel who were enslaved in Egypt. At this moment, Moses was appointed by God to face Pharaoh and lead the Children of Israel on the Exodus from Egypt to the Land "Flowing with Milk and Honey".
