Art from the Golden Haggadah and Rylands Haggadah and an etching by Marc Chagall all depict the Jewish people’s exodus from Egypt. Each artist envisions the scene slightly differently, portraying the setting, characters and what accompanies them in unique ways. The varying depictions reflect different stances on certain aspects of the original story, including the timing of the Exodus and whether the nation left armed for battle.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In Chagall’s drawing, some of the figures carry sacks or bundles on their backs. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The same is true of the Rylands Haggadah, which also features a figure carrying a bowl.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In contrast, in the Golden Haggadah, the Israelites hold their unbaked dough in their hands. <\/span><\/p>\n

Did the nation actually hold their matzot in their hands, pack it, or carry it in bowls? Shemot 12:34 says, \u201cSo the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading bowls wrapped in their cloaks upon their shoulders.\u201d The meaning of the term \u201cmisharotam<\/em>,\u201d translated here as \u201ctheir kneading bowls,\u201d is unclear. Some suggest that it refers to the bowls in which the dough was left to rise, while others posit that it refers to the leftover matzot eaten on the previous night.<\/p>\n
