| Notes |
Photograph is printed in a book with a description beneath printed description: "(Exodus, xl:2.)--Moses commanded the children of Israel on the first day of the month to set up the tabernacle of the congregation and to put therein the ark of the testimony and cover the ark with the veil. We give a view here of the temple of the Sphinx, the place of worship among the Egyptians which had been often seen by the Israelites. Yet it is remarkable that though they had been in Egypt 430 years and had for a part of that time been in the midst of absolute slavery, that upon leaving Egypt they were found to have so few of the heathen ideas of worship characteristic of the Egyptians. This can only be accounted for upon the hypothesis that the Jews from generation to generation handed down to their children their peculiar national ideas of religion. The worship of the temple of the Sphinx was a long way from the worship of the tabernacle." Copyright year and photographer's name are at the bottom of the photograph, along with "Franklin Co Eng-Chi". See 5124BAI/LVi42CAJS (Voyager # 357524). Quality: Good |
