Shabbat Shalom, fellow humans! Keep watch and pay attention! The star of rempham, one of the first idols which Yisra’êl burned their children to. Also a Babylon symbol. How fitting for a Babylonian state pretending to be the 12 tribes it scattered across the earth while it slaughters off the remnant left behind to tend to the land. Woe to those who attack any of the 12 tribes! Babel is falling, is falling! Enjoy the Sabbath for it is truly a day of rest!
Why was Moses so angry about the Hebrews asking for water in Exodus 17:2-5? Maybe they wouldn't have despaired if he had responded with peace and confidence. In v5 God responded by telling Moses to walk out in front of the people who wanted to stone him: a real show of confident leadership.
