וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה כְּתֹב זֹאת זִכָּרֹון בַּסֵּפֶר וְשִׂים בְּאָזְנֵי יְהֹושֻׁעַ כִּי־מָחֹה אֶמְחֶה אֶת־זֵכֶר עֲמָלֵק מִתַּחַת הַשָּׁמָיִם׃

8566. 'Why do you wrangle with me?' means that they should be more restrained in their complaining. This is clear from the meaning of 'wrangling' as bitter complaining, as above in 8563. It also implies that they should be more restrained, for it says that they are thereby tempting Jehovah.
8563. 'And the people wrangled with Moses' means bitter complaining against God's truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'wrangling' as bitter complaining, for one who wrangles in temptation complains bitterly; and from the representation of 'Moses' as God's truth, dealt with in 6723, 6752, 6771, 6827, 7010, 7014, 7089, 7382.
