Wisdom Books
Creation, Covenant, Shekinah, Kingdom
This illumination takes us back to the theme of creation running throughout the Wisdom Books. The four panels refer back to the stories in the narrative: Creation, Flood, Exodus, and the Temple. The third panel has the Hebrew lettering for “Shekinah” (God’s presence on earth) coming forth in gold.
