Why did you bring us here? It seems that Israel forgot that it was God who led them by the pillar of cloud and fire. Now the people are complaining that Moses was the problem and not God. It's good that the people didn't complain against God, but the problem was that the complaint was against God because it was God who led them.
Edom isn't attacked. We often see that God will have Israel attack or defend itself, but here they just left. For me this is a reminder that though there may be a time to defend yourself and your rights, there is also a time to just walk away, and perhaps more often than not, walking away is what we should be doing.
