Fra Angelico: the Armadio degli Argenti
O.T. Reference probably from Ezekiel Chapter 37:
‘And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your
graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, 14 And shall
put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your
own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and
performed it, saith the LORD.’
O.T. reference Zechariah Chapter 9 v 9:
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
Old testament reference Exodus 24 1 - 11, the covenant meal on Mount Sinai: 'Behold the blood of the Covenant'.
O.T. reference Zechariah 11:12: ‘And I said unto them, If ye think
good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my
price thirty pieces of silver.’
O.T. reference: Isaiah Chapter 1 v 16-17:
‘Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.’
The O.T. reference may come from Exodus24.8, when Moses scatters the sacrificial blood. Alternatively, Psalm 78 v 24-25:
‘And had rained down
manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. Man
did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.'
