    Description

    Meribah in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Meribah was a location in the wilderness where the Israelites quarreled with Moses and tested the Lord (Exodus 17:7). The name Meribah means "quarrel" or "contention." The people complained about the lack of water, and Moses, following God's instructions, struck the rock, and water came out for the people to drink (Exodus 17:5-6). The incident at Meribah is remembered as an example of Israel's rebellion and lack of faith (Deu.33.8; Psalm 95:8). It serves as a warning not to harden one's heart against God as the Israelites did at Meribah.

    Relations

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
