Luther’s 1523 translation of the Pentateuch included eleven woodcuts. Six of these are pictures of the tabernacle. The other five are the high priest in vestments, the flood, the sacrifice of Isaac, Jacob’s dream, and Joseph interpreting Pharaoh’s dream.

Luther: “I have made a great effort to make Moses so German that no one would guess that he was a Jew.”  In the Preface Luther wrote: “It is the principal teaching of the Old Testament to proclaim the law, to reveal sin, and to further the good….For Moses can do no more by the law than tell what man ought to do and ought not to do. But he cannot give the power, the strength, and the ability to fulfill it.” Large portions of this Preface are contained in Willem Jan Kooiman, Luther and the Bible [Philadelphia: Muhlenberg Press, 1961], p. 135-144.
