Subject: what event was labeled the provocation? |
Bible Note: To Ray and Mommapbs; Thanks so much for your feedback on the question. This question was asked at my bible study group at church and I was hard pressed for a definitive answer. During the Exodus from Egypt,it seems the Jews tempted the Lord at every turn, so I really wasnt sure what act of defiance, disobiediance, unbelief, etc. was THE one that finally brought on God s wrath. Again, thank you so much for your help and God bless you both. Please e-mail me anytime. |
