God told Moses to speak to a rock to bring water out of it, obviously conveying the idea that God was providing for His people. Moses instead got angry and struck the rock twice, thus indicating his unbelief that God could do this miracle. For this Moses was not permitted to enter Canaan. The account in its context is below.
=== === 1Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there. 2And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron. 3And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD! 4And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there? 5And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink. 6And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them. 7And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 8Take 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 of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink. 9And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him. 10And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? 11And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also. 12And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them. 13This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
He had a pride,he acted as if it was him who gave people water,the time when the israelian will run out of water,he bit the rock with a stick and the rock opened and water came out(notice that was god's power,but he said ''i tried for you to get water'' insteat of saying god helped them)
There are two main reasons that, within the Biblical narrative, Moses becomes angry at Pharaoh. The primary reason is that Pharaoh is rejecting Moses' request that his people (the Israelites) be freed from enslavement. The secondary reason is that he knows that Pharaoh's failure allow the Israelites to go free will have strongly negative consequences for the Egyptian population and he does not enjoy their suffering.
They started to grumble to Moses that even when they were slaves in Egypt, they had food to fill their stomachs. They ate quail, but here there is only mana, all the same food daily.
The Israelites were annoyed with Moses because they were hungry, thirsty and blamed Moses for taking them out into the desert.
Yes Moses got angry with the people several times, like when they grumbled, and when they made the golden calf.
When they were in danger (Exodus ch.13) or without food (Exodus ch.16) or water (Exodus ch.17), they insisted that Moses do something about it.
Sometimes Moses was impatient and didn't wait for the lord's command.
A:Biblical tradition is that Moses saved the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.
No, Joshua became the leader of the Israelites after Moses died.
moses
First of all we do not have to follow Moses.
God gave them to Moses on the top of Mt. Sinai in 1498 b.c. and Moses told them to the Israelites.
Moses
The Israelites.
it is about god asking moses to free the Israelites
Moses or Abraham led the israelites out of Egypt i believe
There is no information regarding the distance the Israelites traveled with Moses in the desert. It is said that they traveled for forty years.
Moses was an Israelite himself, and led his people for 40 years from Egypt to the border of the Promised Land. Moses was also given the Law to pass on to the Israelites from God.
