I have a question,'Is Hur in verse 2, the same Hur that held Mose's arms up during the battle with the Amalekites?

I think it was the same Hur, but have some more questions...
1. Was the nakedness in 32:25 "for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies" a literal or figurative nakedness (or both)?
2. What was the significance of having them drink the water mixed with the crushed Golden Calf?

Here is a more accurate translation: The word is difficult to interpret. There does not seem to be enough evidence to justify the KJV’s translation “naked.” It appears to mean something like “let loose” or “lack restraint” (Prov 29:18). The idea seems to be that the people had broken loose, were undisciplined, and were completely given over to their desires. (NET)

That does make more sense! Any idea on drinking the Golden calf mixed with water?
