Moses gets water out of the rock
Location
Konkatedra św. Jana Chrzciciela w Kamieniu Pomorskim, Polska
Description
The panel in the far right wall of the lectern depicts a scene from the Old Testament Book of Exodus - Moses strikes the rock with his staff, from which water flows for the surprised Israelites, who, dying of thirst in the desert, begin to doubt God. The painting, along with others, was created thanks to the foundation of Duke Ernst Bogislaw von Croÿ, so that the lectionary placed on the stole would complement the symbolic content of the altar beside it.
