NSB(i)
7 Jehovah said to Moses:
8 »Take your staff and you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation. Right before their eyes, tell the rock to give up its water. In this way you will give the congregation water from the rock for them and their animals to drink.«
9 Moses took his staff out of the tent in Jehovah’s presence as he had been commanded.
10 Moses and Aaron assembled the congregation in front of the rock and said to them: »Listen, you rebels, must we bring water out of this rock for you?«
11 Moses raised his hand and hit the rock twice with the staff. Water came pouring out! All the people and their animals drank.
12 Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron: »You did not trust me! You did not show the Israelites how holy I am! So you will not bring this congregation into the land I am giving them.«
13 This was the oasis of Meribah (Complaining), where the Israelites complained about Jehovah and where he showed them he was holy.
