These are the waters of Meribah, where the people of Israel quarreled with the LORD, and through them he showed himself holy.—Numbers 20:10-13 In Exodus 17 , we read a similar story (or perhaps another telling of the same incident) and God commanded the rock to be struck with the staff Moses struck the waters of the Nile with.

2020年10月16日 · He will not enter the land that I will give to the Israelites, because you both rebelled against my order regarding the waters of Meribah. (NWT) [bold text mine] (NWT) [bold text mine] The article "A Judge Who Is Firm for What Is Right" in the Watchtower of Sept. 1, 2009 gives three reasons for God's judgement:

Was Moses reprimanded in Exodus 17 and Numbers 20:10-13 for not speaking (therefore showing a lack of faith in the Lord’s abilities to turn Moses' weaknesses into strength (which was why the Lord put Aaron there to help him)), or was it for not following the Lord's instructions with exactness (striking instead of speaking of water from the ...

2021年7月30日 · Meribah, כמריבה, or quarrel, was the name given to the place where the people quarreled with Moses about the lack of water (cf. Exodus 17:1-7) and Massah, מסה, or temptation, likewise refers to a place where there was no water (cf. Numbers 20:1-13). In both the LORD provided water from a rock.

2019年12月13日 · The remainder of the text mentions two events— the water from the rock at Massah and Meribah (Exodus 17.1-7) and the golden calf (symbol of vitality and strength) incident (Exodus 32:25-29). At Massah ("test") and Meribah ("quarrel") it was one Levite (Moses) who demonstrated faithfulness in the midst of the grumbling of the israelites.

2024年8月25日 · "And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, and it is evil to Moses for their sakes, for they have provoked his spirit, and he speaketh wrongfully with his lips." Psalm 106:32-33 Y.L.T.

2017年6月8日 · It seems the commandments were directed at Moses even though Aaron was present. Numbers 20:7 (KJV) 7 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out …

2021年4月13日 · Clearly Paul states the rock was Christ and Christ claimed to be in existence before the Exodus (cf. John 8:58). In particular, from the Hebrew and Greek texts of the OT, Paul is pointing specifically to the rock at Meribah. At Meribah the LORD instructed Moses to speak to the rock, in other words, speak to Christ.

2023年10月13日 · I was thinking that they had to be two different accounts. I guess I jumped on the fact that they both mentioned Meribah, although in Exodus, Moses, it seems, named the place of "quarreling" Massah and Meribah, whereas in Numbers we have the description of Waters of Meribah, due to the Sons of Israel's "contention". Nevertheless, the second ...

2018年12月14日 · At Meribah in Numbers 20, he was directed to "speak to" the Rock, but instead Moses strikes the Rock, which in hence misrepresents God, makes them think that perhaps (?) God is angry with them, and doesn't follow instructions, and because of this, the punishment was clear: the denial of the entry into the Promised Land.
