Hi prayon, He didn't hit it by mistake did he, for it was hit twice. It appears from Numbers 20:12 that there was unbelief and lack of desire to give God the glory involved here. Moses had a lot of faith in the rod's ability from past experience, but he wasn't willing to put his faith in simply speaking it as he was told thus to do, verse 8. That may have been not believing that it could happen or it could have been that Moses felt he should be more involved and get more credit for it. Just speaking to the rock to give forth water would give glory to God alone. And God alone is holy. That seems to be at the forefront here also. Moses didn't treat God as holy but seems to say in verse 10 that they were rebels (not him, though) and that he and Aaron were going to bring forth water for them. But God found Moses to be in rebellion of His command, verse 24. However, verse 13, the Lord proved Himself holy and He alone among them. |
