About this episode

The episode contemplates the biblical story of Moses striking the rock and the consequences of his lack of faith.

CONTEMPLATION To contemplate the miraculous bringing forth of water from the rock in Kadesh (Numbers 20): * How Moses, at God’s command, struck the rock with his rod, but without faith; and how, through the will of God, water flowed forth; * How God punished Moses and Aaron for their little faith by not permitting them to enter the Promised Land; * How this shows that even a great righteous one like Moses is prone to sin, and that no mortal should be carried away into pride by his virtues.
