Angels Sweep the Desert Floor: Bible Legends about Moses in the Wilderness Hardcover - 2002
by Miriam Chaikin; Alexander Koshkin (Illustrator)
Summary
Rabbis in ancient times believed that the answers to all questions could be found somewhere in the Bible. Turn it and turn it, for everything is in it,” they said. Each answer the rabbis found became a type of story, a midrash. Miriam Chaikin examines familiar midrashim, or stories from the Old Testament. This collection of eighteen moving and lyrical tales follows Moses and the Israelites as they wander the desert, sate their hunger with manna bread, receive the Ten Commandments, and, ultimately, reach the Holy Land. Glowing paintings capture the majesty of heaven and the grace of angels who watch over the Israelites during their difficult journey. Biblical notes, bibliography.
First line
The language of the Bible is beautiful and precise.
