The waters of Meribah refer to Israel's wilderness journey, recorded in Numbers 20:1–13. The Israelites were thirsty and complained to Moses about the lack of water. God instructed Moses to speak to a rock to bring forth water. However, in frustration, Moses struck the rock with his staff instead.
Though water came out, God rebuked Moses and Aaron for not trusting Him enough to honor Him before the people. As a result, they were forbidden from entering the Promised Land. The place was named Meribah, meaning "quarreling" or "strife," because the Israelites quarreled and tested the Lord there.
Are we obedient to God’s instructions?
