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.
