Rabbi Dr. David Gottlieb
Why didn't Moses, G‑d's most loyal servant follow G‑d's simple instructions? Why did this seemingly minor offense have such severe consequences? Moses hitting the rock is one of the most mystifying episodes recounted in the Torah. The well that supplied the Israelites with water dried up. G-d instructed Moses to go to Mount Horeb and extract water from a rock. Moses did so successfully, but in the course of executing G-d's command, he commits a grave error. As a result, it is decreed that Moses must die in the desert.
