Numbers 20:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ Then Moses lifted his hand and hit the rock twice with his ·stick [staff; ^Che was supposed to speak to it, 20:8]. Water began pouring out, and the ·people [community; congregation; assembly] and their animals drank it.

¹² But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not ·believe [trust] me, and because you did not ·honor me as holy [show my holiness] before the ·people [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel], you will not lead ·them [^Lthis community; congregation; assembly] into the land I will give them [20:22–29; Deut. 34:1–12].”

¹³ These are the waters of Meribah [^C“Argument”], where the ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel] ·argued with [contended with; brought a case against] the Lord and where he showed them he was holy.
