Uittocht uit Egypte

Moses stands on the left with rays of light emanating from his head, gesturing toward the horizon as he directs the Exodus. A dense crowd of people follows, heavily laden with ornate gold and silver pitchers, basins, and chests, accompanied by their livestock and children. In the distance, a vast column of figures winds through a mountainous landscape, illustrating the scale of the biblical migration.

This scene depicts the 'Spoils of the Egyptians,' a motif frequently cited by Renaissance Neoplatonists and Hermeticists to justify the study of ancient pagan wisdom as a 'theft' of divine truths that rightfully belong to the sacred tradition. Moses himself was regarded in the 'Prisca Theologia' as a contemporary or even a student of Hermes Trismegistus, linking the Exodus to the transmission of hidden Egyptian mysteries.
