Benjamin Franklin's Moses Seal
In 1776, Benjamin Franklin proposed an image for the Great Seal showing Moses at the Red Sea as Pharaoh’s army was overwhelmed, accompanied by the motto, “Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God.” Though never adopted as the Great Seal, the proposal reveals how naturally America’s founders drew upon the Hebrew Bible to express their struggle for liberty. The Exodus provided an ancient model of liberation from tyranny followed by moral responsibility.
Before there was an American story of liberty, there was Exodus.
Product Details
When the founders needed an image for what they were attempting, Franklin reached for Moses at the sea and Pharaoh’s army going under, with the motto Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God.
It was never adopted. What makes it worth wearing is that it was proposed at all. Asked to explain a revolution, an American founder reached instinctively for the Hebrew Bible, because the Exodus already contained the argument: that there is an authority above the throne, and that walking away from tyranny can be an act of obedience rather than rebellion.
The Exodus also supplies the part people skip. Liberation is followed immediately by law. Getting out was never the whole story.
