A pusztai vándorlás mint az Ószövetség labirintusa
Wandering through the desert as a labyrinth in the Old testament

Summary/Abstract: Hopefully, it was not without any use to have had a closer look at the topic of wandering through the desert by featuring rebels and exercising power. When reading these stories with full attention, surely, we are to realize that these rebels mentioned have a lot to do with those of ours. For example one of our greatest concerns today is to provide our people with their «daily bread». Besides, what an acute trouble it for so many of us to have clean drinking water! And, as a third, it is a never-ceasing challenge for us to exercise power properly between two people, within our family or a larger community. Therefore, wandering through the desert still has a strong symbolic significance, that is: people continue to face those troubles regardless of the historic age happen to live in. The question arises: how can we find a way out from this awful labyrinth? The solution presents itself: only by trusting God whole-heartedly can we escape. It seems that many times, when we feel the things become an unbearable burden for us, we, like the wandering Israelites, tend to choose for rebellion and refusal. Instead, we should leave it to God to point us our way. For, it is he, who can heal our wounds (Ex 15: 26)
