BRAGADAYJAH 451
In the midst of their disputation with Moses and Aaron, Moses and Aaron removed themselves away from the congregation of Israel and sought the Lord. And the Lord told Moses to take the rod and gather the assembly together and speak to the rock in their presence, and the rock shall give forth its water, and he shall then give them water out of the rock for the congregation and their beasts to drink.
Accordingly, Moses in the company of Aaron gathered the whole congregation together before the rock and told them , "Hear now you rebels, must we bring water out of this rock?"
And Moses lifted up his hand and smote the rock with the rod twice, and water came out abundantly and the congregation and their beasts drank.
And the Lord told Moses and Aaron, that since they did not believe His word to sanctify Him in the sight of the children of Israel, they would not be allowed to take the congregation into the land which He had promised them; for this is the water of Meribah for the children of Israel strove with the Lord and he was sanctified in them
