10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock; and he said to them, ^a“Hear now, you rebels! Must we bring water for you out of this rock?”  ‡

12 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, “Because ^ayou did not believe Me, to ^bhallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”  ‡

13 ^aThis was the water of¹ Meribah, because the children of Israel contended with the Lord, and He was hallowed among them.  ‡
