Exegesis
The paired prepositions al {עַל | ʿal} and ve’al {וְעַֽל | wə-ʿal} create a chiastic parallelism, each governing Mosheh {מֹשֶׁה | mō-šeh} and Aharon {אַהֲרֹן | ’ă-hă-rōn}, emphasizing communal opposition toward the leaders.
In context — Numbers 20:2
Now there was no water for the community , so they assembled and confronted Moses and Aaron.
