Picture:  The initial Letter “U” of The Fourth Book of Moses by Martin Luther for Das Alte Testament Deutsch, M. Luther, Wittemberg, 1523.  Jesus between 2 cherubs appearing to Moses with a bird….  “And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai…”  “Und der HERR Redet mit Mose ynn der zvusten Sinai…”  From page CI = 101.

“Luther struggled with Leviticus, which he regarded as tiresome and having little spiritual perspective.  Luther: ‘I have made a great effort to make Moses so German that no one would guess that he was a Jew’” (https://gruber.lstc.edu/luthers_bible/1523_1533.php).
