What was the outcome of Moses' disobedience at Meribah?

• A. He was not allowed to enter the land
• B. He was allowed to enter after a time
• C. He was offered a higher position
• D. He remained as leader but with restrictions

Answer: (A)

At Meribah, Moses showed a lapse in trusting and honoring God in front of the people. God had commanded him to speak to the rock to bring forth water, but Moses struck the rock instead and didn’t publicly glorify God as holy. Because of that disobedience, God told Moses that he would not lead the Israelites into the Promised Land. Moses died on Mount Nebo, and the people entered the land under Joshua. The lesson here is clear: leadership carries responsibility, and obedience to God affects the future of God’s people.
