Meribah
Meribah is the location where Moses brought forth water from a rock. The first time God told him to strike the rock (Ex 17:6). The second time, He told him to speak to it but Moses strikes it like before (Num 20:8). For this little stunt God prevented Moses from entering the promised land (Num 20:12), but allowed him look at it from mount Abarim (Deut 32:49). |
