Num 20:10-13 10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation
together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must
we fetch you water out of this rock?
11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice:
and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their
beasts also.
12 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believedme
not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall
not bring this congregation into the landwhich I have given them.

the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
