וַֽ֭יִּזְכְּרוּ כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִ֣ים צוּרָ֑ם וְאֵ֥ל עֶ֝לְיוֹן גֹּאֲלָֽם׃
Mereka pun teringat bahwa Allah adalah gunung batu mereka, dan Allah Yang Mahatinggi adalah penebus mereka.
Kli Yakar
And take two onyx stones. To atone for the two stone tablets that were broken, whereupon the bond was severed between these four: the Holy One, blessed be He, the tablets, Moses, and Israel. Through this atonement, all were reconnected, for the two onyx stones correspond to the two stone tablets. Shoham [onyx] was explained by Rabbeinu Bachya as containing the letters of “HaShem” [God’s name], and it also contains the letters of “Moshe” [Moses], and engraved upon it were all the names of the children of Israel. Thus, all four are now brought together to one inn, whereas initially they had forgotten their savior and consequently, God also forgot them. Now, after the atonement when they returned and remembered that God was their rock, they too would be on His two shoulders for remembrance.
