why I had asked for this gift to my 75th birthday:
the electrical device of trickling water in my room,
and the fact, that what my son found, was "water from the rock"

And Moses struck on the rock

2007_07_12

lyrics: Yaacov David Kamzon
tune: Yedidia Admon

See 3 pages on the Internet with paintings on this theme

And Moses struck on the rock
with a rod he struck on the crag, the crag
with a rod he struck on the crag
and out from it came water, water,
with a rod he struck on the crag
and out from it came water, water
how wondrous and wonderful!
Amen, sela, sela
[see an article about this word, which appears 74 times in the Bible,
and nobody really knows what it means.
In this case "sela" sounds just like "sela" crag, but is written differently]

And Mose brought a kid
and he made him suck honey out of the crag, the crag
[in Deuteronomy 32:13 - see the song - it is God, who made Israel
"suck honey out of the crag, and oil out of the flinty rock"]
And his voice became like a spring, like a spring,
and his voice became like a spring,
pure and clear like water, water
how wondrous and wonderful!
Amen, sela, sela

And the kid grew horns,
horns of rock, horns of crag
horns of rock, horns of crag
and seventy wolves he butted with them, butted with them
and seventy wolves he butted with them
and passed through fire, through water [see the Yiddish song]
how wondrous and wonderful!
Amen, sela, sela

From "Nebo-Let-Go"

 "D I E !"   was Moses told,   but why ?
 Why should he  die  on Mount Nebo in  Jordan,
and stop-quit fulfilling his vision and mission?
Not at all because of his age or an ailing body!
(And not for the dumb reason dumb people invented later! (Deut. 32:51))

2010_01_25: I apologize!
the reason was not dumb at all, as I learnt now:
When Moses hit the rock to force it to produce water,
he was megalomanic.

You should have flown with the water
and walked "humbly with your God!"
This demand [Micah 6:8], a motto of Kiss-log 2008,
is addressed to Moses as to me!

January 25-February 7, 2010 [re-studied on August 14, 2011]

I'm very moved by an interpretation of the reason for Moses' death, which is new to me.
I would say, - with Colette Baron-Reid (s. "Celebrating" on Jan. 25) - not that Moses was "megalomanic"
but that he failed in the "delicate dance between creation and surrender" ,
I've apologized and corrected my judgment of the Bible's interpretation of Mose's death
in Ararat, Nebo-Let-Go = in K.i.s.s.-Log 2008, Jan. 26
But I need to study this strange theme from scratch
and I choose this page to document my research.

The problem of people in Biblical times was,
why was their great leader, without whom Israel wouldn't even exist,
not allowed to enter the land, towards which he had guided them for 40 years.

The many sources in three books of the Torah (Pentateuch or Five Books of Moses) and in several psalms
lead to two answers, so it seems to me.
One: Moses - the archetype of solidarity as I described in my book -
had to share the destiny of the slaves:
Since they were unable to grasp "freedom",
and all they wanted was to return to the security of slavery,
"God" despaired of them and destined them to death in the desert,
all of them except for two men, who had proven, "that there was another spirit in them" (Nu 14:24]:
Joshua and Caleb .
But Moses was destined to die with his people and not allowed to enter the land of freedom.
A totally different reason was sought in Moses' own attitude and behavior.
It sounds like a punishment: Instead of "talking to the rock",
as "God" had asked him to do in the version of Numeri 20,
Moshe struck the rock - in great anger against the people - yes! he struck twice!
This was interpreted as if not only the people, but he himself didn't trust "God",
and that, therefore, he was a bad example for the people and actually shamed "God".

But as so often in the Bible, underneath the upper layer of "command and punishment"
there is hidden a deep truth.
And that is what I understand from my own life with the World and with "God":
Striking, Smiting, using Force
with the goal to make people free and self-empowered
will not work.
- "and walking humbly with your God", Bible, Micah 6:8
was the motto of my "Communication with Deity", throughout K.i.s.s.-Log 2008,
meaning: attuning my pace with the world to the pace of "God" with the World.


Exodus 17


1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel
journeyed from the wilderness of Sin,...
and encamped in Rephidim;
and there was no water for the people to drink.
2 Wherefore the people strove with Moses, and said:
'Give us water that we may drink.'
And Moses said unto them:
'Why strive ye with me?
wherefore do ye try the LORD?'
3 And the people thirsted there for water;
and the people murmured against Moses, and said:
'Wherefore hast thou brought us up out of Egypt,
to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?'

4 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying:
'What shall I do unto this people?
they are almost ready to stone me.'
5 And the LORD said unto Moses:
'Pass on before the people,
and take with thee of the elders of Israel;
and thy rod,
wherewith thou smotest the river,
take in thy hand, and go.
6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb;
and thou shalt smite the rock,
and there shall come water out of it,
that the people may drink.'
And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
7 And the name of the place was called Massah, and Meribah,
because of the striving of the children of Israel,
and because they tried the LORD, saying:
'Is the LORD among us, or not?'
Other translations use the verb "to strike", ("you struck the Nile", "you shall strike the rock").
It is "striking" , that after these two uses of "hikka", Moses does not "strike", but just "does it"!
unlike in Numeri 20, when he is meant to "speak to the rock", and instead "strikes", even twice!


Chagall....



Numeri 20

English Standard Version with Cross References

 1 And the children of Israel, the whole congregation,
came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month;
and the people abode in Kadesh;
and Miriam died there, and was buried there.

2 (A) Now there was no water for the congregation.
(B) And they assembled themselves together
against Moses and against Aaron.
3 And the people (C) quarreled with Moses and said,
"Would that we had perished (D)
when our brothers perished before the LORD!
4 Why have you brought the assembly of the LORD into this wilderness,
that we should die here, both we and our cattle?
5 And (E) why have you made us come up out of Egypt
to bring us to this evil place?
It is no place for grain or figs or vines or pomegranates,
and there is no water to drink."


6 Then Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly
to the entrance of the tent of meeting
and (F) fell on their faces.
(G) And the glory of the LORD appeared to them,
7and the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
8 (H) "Take the staff,
and assemble the congregation,
you and Aaron your brother,
and tell the rock before their eyes to yield its water.
So (I) you shall bring water out of the rock for them
and give drink to the congregation and their cattle."


9 And Moses took the staff (J) from before the LORD,
as he commanded him.
10 Then Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together
before the rock,
and he said to them, (K)
"Hear now, you rebels:
shall we bring water for you out of this rock?"


11 And Moses lifted up his hand
and struck the rock with his staff
twice,
and water came out abundantly,
and the congregation drank, and their livestock.


12 And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
"Because (M) you did not believe in me,
(N) to uphold me as holy in the eyes of the people of Israel,
therefore you shall not bring this assembly
into the land that I have given them."
13 (O) These are the waters of Meribah,
[a] where the people of Israel quarreled with the LORD,
and through them he showed himself holy.

Moses in Wikipedia: Moses strikes water from the stone, by Francesco Bacchiacca (1494 – 1557)
Unlike the paintings above here Moses - kneeling as if he was Jesus - is seen just before he strikes,
as if considering, if he should follow the command: "speak to the rock" in the Numeri 20 version.

In four passages of Deuteronomy chapters 1 and 4 and 27 and 32
"Moses" mentions, that he, like most of the slaves, was not allowed to enter the promised land,
and he blames it on them: because of your rebellion, Israel, God was furious with me, Moses.



attributed to Federico Zuccari 1543-1609
What I see here is: little water comes out of the rock. Moses is not really "there".
The real Moses "talks" to the rocky mountains above the tents.

 

who led thee through the great and dreadful wilderness,
wherein were serpents, fiery serpents, and scorpions,
and thirsty ground where was no water;
who brought thee forth water
out of the rock of flint;
Deuteronomy 8:15
Here Moses himself (a fiction of Deuteronomy, of course) tells the story
and mentions only God's "bringing forth water", and not the task, he Moses, had in this.

Hints in Poetic Contexts: Psalms and Deuteronomy


Nicolas Poussin, 17th century
Here it seems, as if Moses is talking to the people, pointing with his finger to the rock,
while someone else (not Aaron, because Aaron was older than Moses) strikes the rock.
Here, too, only little water is flowing,
It's touching, from what vessels the people drink, see the mother to the right.
Interesting for me is also the mountain, obviously mount Sinai, and the tent to the right,
both in the form of a tetraheder...

What can I say - on August 22, 2013 -
after having re-studied this research?

Nothing new, nothing else but this:
When Moses hit the rock to force it to produce water,
he failed in the "delicate dance between creation and surrender"

You should have flown with the water
and walked "humbly with your God!"
This demand [Micah 6:8], a motto of Kiss-log 2008,
is addressed to Moses as to me!
i.e. attune your pace with the world
to the pace of "God" with the World.

 



 

 

 

2010 - Mika's and My Heaven-on-Earth


Mika "gives treatment" - she says - to our "old" olive-tree on "Crane-Piazza"

Mika seems to remember Re'i Benjamin, Tamir's and Hilah's baby, from beyond ...
2010_11_10  Heaven-on-Earth
"...Manifestation is meant to be a playground where being and playing are fun" [Godchannel]

 

Fortunately Mika and Adar had a chance to be among themselves for a little while

The "Snail-Chapter"
Who can guess what this is or was?
A big snail-shell, which Mika picked up on our way to kindergarden.
It was already broken, when Mika found it, in a way that a pretty ring was shaped , to hold it.
We asked the question, if a baby snail hatches from her egg with a house already on her back.
And I wondered, why I had no idea. "Ask Abba!" "I'm sure, neither Abba nor Imma know it!"

All about snails for kids baby snails just born ~snail eggs hedging[2 videos, not really clear!]

When Mika was already close to the gate of the kindergarden, I called her back:
"Let me take a photo of you and your snail".
At the same time the guard, Abraham, the Ethiopian, called Mika too,
he wanted to help her open the locked gate.
Confused by two quests from two sides,
the snail fell from Mika's hand and broke in an ugly way.
Another girl with her mother wanted to pass us by.
That girl had 3 fruits from a shrub in her hand, for the "morning circle!"
Mika, too, had intended to bring her "snail" to the "morning-circle"!
We parted and I went home , angry with myself! Why did I have to ...
But later - see what happened!
The next day Mika brought home a plastic cup
and in it
"that snail!"
"But Mika, that cannot be that snail- it was broken!"
"But it grew again!"

We gave it a few drops of water
and it seemed to be alright the next morning.
Immanuel came back from flight at 7:40,
printed out what Efrat had found on the Internet
as "Info-sheets", requested by Mika,
and managed to bring Mika to kindergarden.

Efrat , the most compassionate creature I know except for myself,
wanted to set it free.

"You can't do that without Mika's consent!" I said.
So Efrat went to work
and Immanuel came to me after some hours:
"What's that supposed to be?"

He led me to the piano, and there- unbelievable -
the snail, whose existence should not even be,
- at least I have no explanation for its appearance,
had freed itself,
climbed up the cup,
overcame the gap between cup and computer-bag
(Immanuel's gift for his wife this time)
climbed up the bag,
overcame the gap between bag and piano-wood
and there it stayed put till Mika came home
and wondered at it...


Nichts ist mir zu klein, und ich lieb es trotzdem
und mal' es auf Goldgrund und gross
und halte es hoch, und ich weiss nicht wem
loest es die Seele los...



[Rainer Maria Rilke
see my song]
Nothing is too small for me, and I still love it,
and paint it on gold and huge
and lift it high up, and I don't know whom
will it untie the soul.

 

 


What a contrast:
The Ceremony at the end of a course of Mika's brother, Navy-Soldier Alon _____

An hour later we all - including Tomer from his boarding school - sat in the car and drove north,
"Today is eleven-eleven!" said Efrat , sometime on our way to the Navy harbour in Haifa,
which took us 2 hours through the jammed roads instead of 1:20 as on our way back.
Mika had a hard time (usually it's me, who suffers most during such journeys),
and fell asleep only just before we reached our destination.
The area for the ceremony bordered a small bay of the Mediterranean.
The beach with little Mika playing on it transformed into a mystical scene.
