Numbers 20:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 20:6

4 ^aWhy have you brought up the assembly of the Lord into this wilderness, that we and our animals should die here?

5 And why have you made us come up out of Egypt, to bring us to this evil place? It is not a place of grain or figs or vines or pomegranates; nor is there any water to drink.”

6 So Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and ^athey fell on their faces. And ^bthe glory of the Lord appeared to them.

7 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

8 ^a“Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus ^byou shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.”

9 So Moses took the rod ^afrom before the Lord as He commanded him.

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?”

11 Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; ^aand water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank.

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.
