Image Title: Near Sacrifice of Isaac and Rebekah at the Well
Scripture Reference:
Description: An angel prevents Abraham from sacrificing his son Isaac and provides a ram instead (bottom right). In the background, Rebekah serves water to Abraham's chief servant and camels, God’s answer to the servant’s prayer that by such means the future wife of Isaac would be identified. The artist’s name, Matthias Scheits' (c. 1630-1700), as well as the engraver’s name, Melchior Kussell (1626 - c.a. 1683), have been placed at the bottom.
