Aaron's rod
The painting depicts elements of the Old Testament story. The snakes at the bottom of the painting symbolize Aaron's rod, which was thrown at the feet of the Egyptian Pharaoh and turned into a snake. We also remember that Aaron's rod was used to perform the plagues of Egypt. The stylized, flowering branches on the right and left sides of the painting depict almond shoots that appeared on the rod during the dispute between the tribes of Israel over the primacy of preaching the word of God. The bird depicted in the center of the painting is considered a messenger (herald) of God. The turquoise-blue color of the painting's background is not accidental—it symbolizes the space and depth of the sky.
