The context is Moses' disobedience at Meribah (<a href="/numbers/20-10.htm">Numbers 20:10-12</a>), where he struck the rock instead of speaking to it as God commanded. This incident is tied to the Israelites' constant complaints and lack of faith, which tested Moses' patience. Theologically, it underscores the principle of leadership accountability and the consequences of disobedience to God's commands. It also highlights the collective responsibility of the community, as Moses attributes part of the blame to the people's influence.<p><b>and He would not listen to me</b><br>This indicates God's firm decision regarding Moses' plea to enter the Promised Land. Despite Moses' close relationship with God, this shows that even the most faithful leaders are subject to God's justice and discipline. It emphasizes the seriousness of Moses' transgression and the importance of obedience. This can be connected to the broader biblical theme that God hears the prayers of the righteous but may choose not to grant requests that go against His will or purposes (<a href="/psalms/66-18.htm">Psalm 66:18, 1</a> <a href="/john/5-14.htm">John 5:14</a>).<p><b>“That is enough,” the LORD said to me</b><br>God's response is definitive and final, illustrating His authority and the limits of human intercession. This phrase can be seen as a boundary set by God, teaching that there are times when His decisions are irrevocable. It serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and the importance of accepting His will. This moment also foreshadows the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises through Joshua, who will lead the people into the land, symbolizing a transition in leadership and the continuation of God's plan.<p><b>“Do not speak to Me again about this matter.”</b><br>This command from God underscores the finality of His decision regarding Moses' fate. It teaches the importance of submission to God's will and the acceptance of His judgments. This can be related to the New Testament teaching on prayer, where believers are encouraged to persist in prayer but also to trust in God's wisdom and timing (<a href="/matthew/6-10.htm">Matthew 6:10</a>, <a href="/luke/22-42.htm">Luke 22:42</a>). Theologically, it points to the idea that some prayers may not be answered in the way one desires, but God's purposes are ultimately for the greater good. This also prefigures the role of Jesus Christ as the ultimate intercessor, who perfectly aligns with the Father's will (<a href="/hebrews/7-25.htm">Hebrews 7:25</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites who is recounting his experience with God.

Moses, like Ezekiel (<a href="/context/deuteronomy/24-15.htm" title="At his day you shall give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down on it; for he is poor, and sets his heart on it: lest he cry against you to the LORD, and it be sin to you.">Deuteronomy 24:15-22</a>), was made a sign.<p>(26) <span class= "bld">Let it suffice thee.</span>--Literally, <span class= "ital">enough for thee, </span>or, as it is paraphrased by Rashi from older commontatore, "Far more than this is reserved for thee; plentiful goodness is hidden for thee."
