AMPLIFIED 2015 | Exodus 17:6 "Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb; there you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, so that the people may [have something to] drink." And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. [1 Cor 10:4] |
Bible Question: Where is the scripture where Moses struck the rock for water, instead of speaking to it? And the Lord told him that because of that. He will not enter into the promise land.Is there more than 1 reference? If so, where? |
Bible Answer: Hello Norman, Welcome to the Forum. I believe the initial reference you're looking for is found in Exodus 17:6 (cf. 1 Cor. 10:4), where Moses was told by God to strike the rock and water would come out. In Numbers 20:8, the Lord spoke to Moses and was told, "Take the rod; and you and your brother Aaron assemble the congregation and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it may yield its water. You shall thus bring forth water for them out of the rock and let the congregation and their beasts drink." Moses sinned in anger when he ,"lifted up his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation and their beasts drank.(vs. 11) The result is recorded in vs. 12, where God told him he would "not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them." I hope this helps, BradK |
