Jacques de Létin biography

This work is linked to Exodus 31:18

○ 두 돌판
18.	여호와께서 시내산 위에서 모세에게 이르시기를 마치신 때에 증거판 둘을 모세에게 주시니 이는 돌판이요 하나님이 친히 쓰신 것이더라

Moses poses with the Tables of the Law, on which the Ten Commandments were written (in French, according to de Létin). Behind him is Mount Sinai, where he received the Commandments.

The building in the background is Saint Catherine's Monastery, at the foot of Mount Sinai. It is one of the oldest monasteries in the world. A beam of light falls on the monastery, through an eye in the rock on the left.
