MERIBAH, xvii. 1-7.
A greater strain. What if Israel had stood it? 249.--They murmured
against Moses. The position of Aaron. An exaggerated outcry,
250.--Witnesses to the miracle. The rock in Horeb, 251.--The rod.
Privilege is not acceptance, 252.
AMALEK, xvii. 8-16.
A water-raid, 252.--God's sheep must become His warriors. War,
253-4.--Joshua. The rod of God, 255.--A silent prayer. Aaron and Hur
must join in it, 256.--So now. But the army must fight, 257.--"The Lord
my banner." Unlike a myth, 258.
