Hello, beloved viewers of Bible Stories! In this video, we will discover the true sin that Moses committed at the waters of Meribah. Some theorists claim that Moses sinned because he struck the rock, and the rock symbolized Christ. In this biblical study, however, we will find out that this claim is just a misunderstanding; the real reason was different.

The research in the Almeida Corrected version found the text in different places containing the word “Meribah.” Let’s begin beyond the text of Exodus 7. Note that the mention of Meribah is in verse 7, but we’ll continue from the verse to have a good idea of the context in which this happened. Then, the entire congregation of the children of Israel departed from the desert of Sin in their journey, following the commandment of the Lord. They camped at Rephidim, and⁸ there was no water for the people to drink.
However, God gave the people to Moses and said, “Give us water to drink.” Moses said to them, “Why do you contend with me? Why do you test the Lord? Since the people were thirsty, they murmured against Moses, saying, ‘Why did you bring us up from Egypt to kill us, our children, and our livestock with thirst?'” Moses cried to the Lord, saying, “What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.”
The Lord said to Moses, “Go before the people, take with you some of the elders of Israel, and take in your hand the rod with which you struck the river. Go, behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb, and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink.” Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel and called the name of that place Massah and Meribah, because of the contention of the children of Israel and because they tested the Lord, saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?”
In this first text, we see that Moses was afraid of losing control of the people or being stoned because the people were dissatisfied. God commanded Moses to strike the rock so that water would come out, and Moses did as commanded. However, this text does not mention the sin Moses supposedly committed.
