Numbers20:13

13 This is the water of Meribah , because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them .

Called Meribah Kadesh, to distinguish it from another Mebah, Exod. 17. 7.

Or, among them, to wit, the children of Israel last mentioned, by the demonstration of his omnipotency, veracity, and clemency towards the Israelites, and of his impartial holiness and severity against sin even in his greatest friends and favourites, as Moses was.

Marginal references: Deut. 33. 8. Psal. 95. 8. & 106. 32, &c.; That is, strife.
