Numbers 20:1-13
1. In the first month the whole Israelite community arrived at the Desert of Zin, and they stayed at Kadesh. There Miriam died and was buried.
2. Now there was no water for the community, and the people gathered in opposition to Moses and Aaron.
3. They quarreled with Moses and said, "If only we had died when our brothers fell dead before the Lord!
4. Why did you bring the LORD's community into this desert, that we and our livestock should die here?
5. Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to this terrible place? It has no grain or figs, grapevines or pomegranates. And there is no water to drink!"
6. Moses and Aaron went from the assembly to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and fell facedown, and the glory of the LORD appeared to them.
7. The LORD said to Moses,
8. "Take the staff, and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water. You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink."
9. So Moses took the staff from the LORD's presence, just as he commanded him.
10. He and Aaron gathered the assembly together in front of the rock and Moses said to them, "Listen, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?"
11. Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank.
12. But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them."
13. These were the waters of Meribah, where the Israelites quarreled with the LORD and where he showed himself holy among them.

Brilliant picture. The colors are amazing and I love how the water spray was drawn. Plus, Moses is an amazing person. Good job!

I like the details on the arms. You can see his muscles straining as if he's striking the rock with all his might. And the strange way he's holding it makes it appear as though he's so angry he isn't bothering with getting a good grip on the staff. Good stuff!

Wow i love the for shadowing that God gives in this story the rock being struck the first time represents Jesus Dieing on the cross being pierced for our sins and then the relationship is sapost to come net it is God saying "you don't have to keep on putting my son on the cross he already payed the price go ahead and get to know him"
Great Art and beautiful Biblical reference.

I think he was angry and frustrated with the Israelites for complaining so much.

Love the coloring, and the intensity on Moses face. I always thought, if you study the passage, Moses isn't just angry, he takes partial credit for the miracle, as though it was done in his own strength(thus the striking of the rock). He says: "Must WE bring", and God comes back with a rebuke that relates Moses' demonstration as a lack of trust, a lack of reverence. God is holy, which means separate and set apart, but Moses seems to indicate that he and God worked this thing out together and it was not God's work alone. Just a thought. Excellent work. I appreciate your consistent inclusion of the scripture with your work.
