Bible Question: what specific event occured that was "the straw that broke the camel's back", the event that was labeled "the provocation"? re: psalm 95:8 |
Bible Answer: Greetings ricachief! Welcome to the Forum. In what translation are you reading "the provocation?" In consulting the information about Psalm 95:8 it refers to the rebellion of Israel against God, not only of His provision, but of His very presence in their midst. Do we not challenge Him in the same way today? I rpaise God for His compassion, His lovingkindness and His patience! Blessings, mommapbs |
