Numbers 20

Numbers 20:10

Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?

Hear now, ye rebels; is it likely, that we shall fetch water out of this hard rock, to satisfy your thirst? This we are required to do; but is this a thing possible to be done?

Numbers 20:12

Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel.

Because ye doubted of the performance of my word; and, in a weak distrust, struck the rock twice, as not being confident of the issue, whereas ye were only bidden to speak unto the rock, to yield forth these waters.
