Allegorical engraving depicting King David and scholars gathered around an open Bible under divine light.

This intricate engraving serves as an allegorical frontispiece for the 1720 Michaelis edition of the Hebrew Bible. It depicts King David and a group of scholars looking towards an open scripture, while divine light breaks through the clouds above, symbolizing the source of spiritual wisdom. The Hebrew inscriptions, including a verse from Psalm 36:10 ('For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light'), emphasize the theme of divine revelation through the sacred text.
