| [Moses] said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?--The conduct of the great leader on this occasion was hasty and passionate (Psa 106:33). He had been directed to speak to the rock [Num 20:8], but he smote it twice [Num 20:11] in his impetuosity, thus endangering the blossoms of the rod, and, instead of speaking to the rock, he spoke to the people in a fury. |
11 And Moses [04872] lifted up [07311] his hand [03027], and with his rod [04294] he smote [05221] the rock [05553] twice [06471]: and the water [04325] came out [03318] abundantly [07227], and the congregation [05712] drank [08354], and their beasts [01165] also.
8 Take [03947] the rod [04294], and gather [06950] thou the assembly [05712] together, thou, and Aaron [0175] thy brother [0251], and speak [01696] ye unto the rock [05553] before their eyes [05869]; and it shall give forth [05414] his water [04325], and thou shalt bring forth [03318] to them water [04325] out of the rock [05553]: so thou shalt give [08248] the congregation [05712] and their beasts [01165] drink [08248].
33 Because they provoked [04784] his spirit [07307], so that he spake unadvisedly [0981] with his lips [08193].
