First, That he did not only smite the Rock, but smite it twice with the Rod in his hand, whereas he had order only, to take the Rod in his hand, and speak to the Rock before their eyes, and it should give out water (Vers. 8.)
First, That he did not onely smite the Rock, but smite it twice with the Rod in his hand, whereas he had order onely, to take the Rod in his hand, and speake to the Rock before their eyes, and it should give out water (Vers. 8.)
His second error was, that he did not only speak to the people (for which in that transaction he had no order from God) but spake bitterly and harshly to them, calling them Rebels, and slighting them Must we fetch water for you, &c? What, for you, who are a murmuring and gainsaying people? God knew the stubbornness of that people, and their rebellions against him, yet he did not call them Rebels, but said in the close of the eighth Verse, So shalt thou give the Congregation, and their Beasts drink. God had more reason and power to call them Rebels then Moses had, yet he did not. And because Moses did, that unadvised speech of his, and the actions which attended it, were called Rebellion, at the twenty fourth Verse of the same Chapter. Ye (saith the Lord of Moses and Aaron) rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah.
