Commentary on Numbers 20:15
Moses recounts Israel's history: 'our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time.' This historical summary provided context for the request, showing Israel as fellow-travelers, not invaders. Sharing one's story can build bridges and explain present circumstances. Yet even accurate history doesn't always persuade hardened hearts.
