Numbers 20:2-13

2Now there wasH1961 noH3808 waterH4325 for the congregationH5712, so they gatheredH6950 againstH5921 MosesH4872H5921 and AaronH175. 3The peopleH5971 quarreledH7378 withH5973 MosesH4872 and saidH559, “If onlyH3863 we had perishedH1478 with our brothersH251 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068! 4WhyH4100 have you broughtH935 the LORD’sH3068 assemblyH6951 intoH413 thisH2088 wildernessH4057 for usH587 and our livestockH1165 to dieH4191 hereH8033? 5WhyH4100 have you led us upH5927 out of EgyptH4714 to bringH935 usH853 toH413 thisH2088 wretchedH7451 placeH4725? It is notH3808 a placeH4725 of grainH2233, figsH8384, vinesH1612, or pomegranatesH7416—and there is noH369 waterH4325 to drinkH8354!”

6Then MosesH4872 and AaronH175 wentH935 from the presenceH6440 of the assemblyH6951 toH413 the entranceH6607 to the TentH168 of MeetingH4150. They fell facedownH5307H5921H6440, and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to themH413. 7And the LORDH3068 saidH1696 toH413 MosesH4872H559, 8“TakeH3947 the staffH4294 and assembleH6950 the congregationH5712. YouH859 and your brotherH251 AaronH175 are to speakH1696 toH413 the rockH5553 while they watchH5869, and it will pour outH5414 its waterH4325. You will bring outH3318 waterH4325 fromH4480 the rockH5553 and provide drinkH8248 for the congregationH5712 and their livestockH1165.”

9So MosesH4872 tookH3947 the staffH4294 from the LORD’sH3068 presenceH6440, just asH834 he had been commandedH6680. 10Then MosesH4872 and AaronH175 gatheredH6950 the assemblyH6951 inH413 frontH6440 of the rockH5553, and Moses saidH559 to them, “ListenH8085 nowH4994, you rebelsH4784, must we bring you waterH4325 outH3318 ofH4480 thisH2088 rockH5553?” 11Then MosesH4872 raisedH7311 his handH3027 and struckH5221 the rockH5553 twiceH6471 with his staffH4294, so that a great amount ofH7227 waterH4325 gushed outH3318, and the congregationH5712 and their livestockH1165 were able to drinkH8354.

12But the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 MosesH4872 andH413 AaronH175, “BecauseH3282 you did notH3808 trustH539 Me to show My holinessH6942 in the sightH5869 of the IsraelitesH1121H3478H3651, you will notH3808 bringH935 thisH2088H413 assemblyH6951 into the landH776 thatH834 I have givenH5414 them.”

13TheseH1992 were the watersH4325 of MeribahH4809,1 whereH834 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 quarreledH7378 withH854 the LORDH3068, and He showed His holinessH6942 among them.
