This note records visual resources added or cited during the 2026-06-19 Exodus visual and spiritual-depth pass. Visuals are teaching aids. They do not replace the biblical text, and Western paintings are treated as later illustrative reception rather than Orthodox iconography.
Manifest
Local generated schematics
- Exodus theological arc: bondage, deliverance, covenant, worship, glory.
- Exodus route teaching schematic: teaching schematic, not a route reconstruction.
- Selective Exodus 6 genealogy: selective genealogy, not a complete family tree or chronology solution.

- Tabernacle plan teaching schematic: schematic based on Exodus 25-27, 30, and 37-40.
- High-priest vestments teaching schematic: schematic based on Exodus 28-29 and 39.

Visual discipline notes
- Orthodox iconography is used as iconography only where the source is actually an icon, especially the Sinai Moses and Burning Bush icon.
- Tissot and Poussin works are useful illustrative reception, but they are not Orthodox icons and should not be treated as theological authorities.
- Route visuals are schematic because the exact Exodus route is debated.
- The genealogy chart is selective and based on Exodus 6 plus related passages. Miriam is included with a caveat because she is central in Exodus but not listed in Exodus 6 in the same genealogical form.
- Tabernacle and vestment schematics are teaching aids, not exact archaeological reconstructions.
