No sooner is the thirst quenched than the first war comes. This episode tells two scenes from Rephidim. First the quarrel over water at Massah and Meribah, where the accusation is louder than the plea, because when something vital is missing, scarcity looks for a face. Then Amalek attacks, striking the exhausted at the tail of the march. Joshua fights in the valley, Moses stands on the hill with his hands raised. When his arms grow heavy, Aaron and Hur hold them up until the sun goes down. An old Jewish reading warns against taking the hands for a magic lever. And the brain research on social closeness shows what support really does: it does not take the load away, it turns the one who carries it into someone who can keep carrying.
What we take with us: No one holds their own arms up from morning until sundown. Support does not mean taking the load away, but standing close enough that the other can keep carrying it.
