stone in Exodus 17
STOHN
This thing shows up in Exodus 17:4: “Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, “What shall I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me.”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Exodus 17:4
“Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, “What shall I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me.””
