The Waters of Meribah

And he said to them, “(C)Listen now, you rebels; shall we bring water for you out of this rock?” 11 Then Moses raised his hand and struck the rock twice with his staff; and (D)water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their livestock drank. 12 But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “(E)Since you did not trust in Me, to treat Me as holy in the sight of the sons of Israel, for that reason you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”
