Speaker 1: Previously on the Chosen people.
Speaker 2: I have heard the Israelites complaints against me. Tell them this,
Speaker 2: All who were counted in the cens is twenty years
Speaker 2: older will die in the desert. I swear that none
Speaker 2: will enter the Promised Land except Caleb and Joshua.
Speaker 3: The Lord.
Speaker 4: The Lord has spoken forty years, forty years of what exile?
Speaker 5: Enough, old man, Your time commanding us is through. After today,
Speaker 5: the people will have a new regime.
Speaker 1: Moses frowned, raising his voice to address the rebels.
Speaker 6: Get away from the tents of these wicked men.
Speaker 4: Don't touch anything that belongs to them, or you'll be
Speaker 4: swept away. Because of all.
Speaker 1: Their sins, the greedy ground and consumed them, all the usurpers,
Speaker 1: their families, their possessions, even their desperate cries. Everything once
Speaker 1: it all tumbled out of sight into the darkness below.
Speaker 1: A horrified Israel watched as the ground knit itself back together,
Speaker 1: leaving only open space and silence where the two households
Speaker 1: had been.
Speaker 6: How many times do I need to see the people
Speaker 6: of God devolve into mindless madness?
Speaker 4: How much longer must I endure this?
Speaker 7: Moses lifted his staff, struck the rock, and with it
Speaker 7: he struck his own future. Shello, my friends, from here
Speaker 7: in the holy Land of Israel, i'm l Extein with
Speaker 7: international Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and welcome to the
Speaker 7: Chosen People. It's been thirty eight years. The sand still
Speaker 7: shifts under the feet of the Chosen People. The same
Speaker 7: wilderness stretches into the horizon. Along the way. They've buried
Speaker 7: countless memories and more than a few loved ones. They
Speaker 7: are thirsty again, not just for water, but for hope,
Speaker 7: for land, for a future that doesn't feel like endless wandering,
Speaker 7: and so they cry out. What happens next is one
Speaker 7: of the most dramatic moments in the Journey of Israel,
Speaker 7: one that even Moses won't escape unscathed. This is the
Speaker 7: story of failure, of a leader's misstep, of consequences that
Speaker 7: ripple through generations, and it all began with the rock.
Speaker 1: Moses frowned at the dry rock marking the source of
Speaker 1: the stream, now empty, its creek bed dusty and barren.
Speaker 1: The parched air clung to him for telling the scorching
Speaker 1: day ahead. It was unseasonably hot for the first month
Speaker 1: of the year. Before dawn, the heat pressed down relentlessly Kadish,
Speaker 1: usually a well watered oasis and a familiar resting place
Speaker 1: for the Israelites, was lifeless for years. The Lord had
Speaker 1: provided water there, and year after year the people returned
Speaker 1: to this spot on the edge of the Promised Land
Speaker 1: before moving their flocks to the foothills for summer. Thirty
Speaker 1: eight years. That's how much time had passed since Israel
Speaker 1: refused to enter the Promised Land based on a negative
Speaker 1: report of moses hand selected spies, and in that time,
Speaker 1: true to the Lord's fateful declaration, that entire generation had
Speaker 1: passed away. Moses, Aaron, and Miriam were all now advanced
Speaker 1: in age, each well over one hundred and ailing with
Speaker 1: all that accompanied such an achievement, Miriam was next to
Speaker 1: blind and frail. Aaron's hands shook terribly and he now
Speaker 1: walked with a hunch, and their younger brother Moses was
Speaker 1: not much better. His hands were gnarled and his joints
Speaker 1: ached all hours of the day and night, moving or resting,
Speaker 1: it made no difference. Only Moses, Aaron, Joshua, Caleb, and
Speaker 1: Miriam had made it to Kadosh that spring of the
Speaker 1: thirty eighth year, but Miriam fell gravely ill when they arrived.
Speaker 1: She had helped Moses and Aaron oversee the final stages
Speaker 1: of setting up the tabernacle and their family's tents, but
Speaker 1: had to retreat to her tent to rest. She never
Speaker 1: rose again after that. Moses was devastated and Aaron was
Speaker 1: beside himself. The High Priest was prohibited from coming into
Speaker 1: contact with dead bodies by their laws, as it would
Speaker 1: render him ritually impure, so when they received word that
Speaker 1: she had passed peacefully in her sleep, Aaron was barred
Speaker 1: from even entering her tent. Moses could have gone in,
Speaker 1: but he refrained. Somehow, it didn't feel right when Aaron
Speaker 1: could not. Instead, one of her great great grandchildren would
Speaker 1: close her eyes for the final time. Moses and Aaron
Speaker 1: sat outside the tabernacle, weeping for the sister who had
Speaker 1: saved Moses as a baby and stood as a leader
Speaker 1: alongside them for decades. Elieza, Aaron's son, prepared her body
Speaker 1: while the community's mournful cries filled the camp. The brothers
Speaker 1: wept until exhaustion overtook them. Eyes dry, bodies trembling, the mourners.
Speaker 1: Keening echoed into the night, and though they returned to
Speaker 1: their tents, sleep eluded Moses lightly. It escaped Aaron as well.
Speaker 1: Moses wandered to the rock, waiting for dawn. As the
Speaker 1: sun rose, casting harsh light on the parched stone, he
Speaker 1: sighed that problem would wait today. They would bury Miriam.
Speaker 1: Joshua was about to depart for the day when the
Speaker 1: sound of two approaching voices right outside of his tent
Speaker 1: made him halt in his tracks. Joshua knew the tone
Speaker 1: of dissent when he heard it.
Speaker 2: He was all too.
Speaker 1: Familiar with where this type of complaining would inevitably lead.
Speaker 1: His stomach tightened, but he clenched his jaw and listened. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Did you see the stream?
Speaker 5: You mean the dry creek bed?
Speaker 8: Exactly? How can Moses possibly think that we can settle
Speaker 8: here this year? I know his sister just died, but.
Speaker 4: We should get moving.
Speaker 8: It's an insult to think that we should sit here
Speaker 8: and starve, mere miles away from the promised land.
Speaker 4: It's not fair.
Speaker 9: My father told me of the grapes the scouts brought back.
Speaker 9: He said they had to be lifted.
Speaker 5: By two men across a long pole.
Speaker 4: Can you even.
Speaker 8: Moses has kept us from anything good? He would have
Speaker 8: us wandering the desert until we all die, just like
Speaker 8: our parents.
Speaker 9: We need to do something, something needs to change.
Speaker 8: Join us. We're going to Moses later today. Didn't he
Speaker 8: just bury his sister? Miriam's tomb has been sealed and
Speaker 8: the brothers earl morning. Why should we wait any longer
Speaker 8: to make our complaints known? We'll die out here ourselves
Speaker 8: if we wait much longer.
Speaker 5: I will go with you.
Speaker 1: The two men walked away, unaware that Joshua had overheard
Speaker 1: their blunt conversation from where he sat in the entryway
Speaker 1: to his tent. He sighed and rubbed his temples. It
Speaker 1: was time to find Moses and Aaron and alert them again.
Speaker 1: Now in his late fifties, Joshua was among the oldest
Speaker 1: who remembered the failures of their forebears. Nearly forty years ago,
Speaker 1: peace had settled over Israel as the older generations passed,
Speaker 1: replaced by younger ones who had only heard of the
Speaker 1: Red Sea whispered around Camphire's. They hadn't seen the lord's
Speaker 1: fearsome judgment first hand, as he and.
Speaker 3: Caleb had, how much longer until we take the promised land?
Speaker 2: Are we ready?
Speaker 3: Am I? Ready? Are they ready to take up the land?
Speaker 3: They've been promised? Will any of us have truly be ready?
Speaker 1: The Lord had promised that Joshua and Caleb would see Canaan.
Speaker 1: That much encouraged him when he felt lost and discouraged.
Speaker 1: But the Lord had extended no such promise to Moses, Aaron,
Speaker 1: and Miriam, And now Miriam was gone. Would the brothers
Speaker 1: live to see the fruition of the dream they've planted
Speaker 1: in every Israelite's art. Would their faithfulness at the next
Speaker 1: generation be rewarded. Joshua had come to accept that he
Speaker 1: was going to take the mantle of leadership when Moses passed.
Speaker 1: Such had been prophesied at the base of Mount Sinai.
Speaker 1: Yet even so, Joshua longed for Moses to lead the
Speaker 1: people into the promised land. He desperately wanted Moses to
Speaker 1: experience the joy of finishing what he had started. Moses
Speaker 1: was furious Joshua had just come to tell him of
Speaker 1: the approaching mob. After years of wandering the desert waiting
Speaker 1: for the faithless to pass, this new generation dared to
Speaker 1: echo the same ungrateful complaints of their forebears. Where was
Speaker 1: the justice in that? Weren't they supposed to be different?
Speaker 1: The ones worthy of the promised land. He had spent
Speaker 1: a third of his life preparing them, and this was
Speaker 1: their response. Moses glanced at Aaron, his brother, just as enraged,
Speaker 1: trembled from head to toe, his arthritic hands shaking uncontrollably.
Speaker 5: Have these children no respect? Her sister's party has not
Speaker 5: yet grown gold, and yet they hurl these complaints against us.
Speaker 6: It's this place, goodesh, it's still reeks of our past failures.
Speaker 6: It pollutes this place. It poisons their minds against us.
Speaker 5: Eh, what do they know? They don't know what we've
Speaker 5: been through on their behalf.
Speaker 9: These hunglings have no idea where we've been, what we've done.
Speaker 5: They they think they could have done better. How many
Speaker 5: countless men have died screaming in front of our.
Speaker 10: Eyes, even children crippled and scarred with disease.
Speaker 5: The ground splitting open between.
Speaker 10: Us, Oh, to give up what I have given up
Speaker 10: for their sake, the life I have been appointed to live,
Speaker 10: the mantle I carry, To give.
Speaker 9: Up my own sons, and to watch us see.
Speaker 5: I couldn't give him bury our sister.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you erin this time wile.
Speaker 1: Just then, Joshua poked his head back into Moses's tent.
Speaker 11: Moses baron, They are assembled before the tabernacle. They are
Speaker 11: ready for me. Moses sighed and steadied himself. He attempted
Speaker 11: to leash his rage and remind himself what his duty
Speaker 11: was to these people, what he had given his life for.
Speaker 11: Moses clenched his jaw and bawled his gnarled fists. What
Speaker 11: would it say about his legacy if he lost his
Speaker 11: temper and failed yet again? He motioned for Joshua to
Speaker 11: lead the way, and Moses and Aaron soon found themselves
Speaker 11: standing before an angry mob of disgruntled men and women.
Speaker 4: Again, have you brought us here? There's no water. Have
Speaker 4: you brought us here so that we will die like
Speaker 4: our father's The.
Speaker 9: Land of Canaan, just over the border, taunts us. We
Speaker 9: have grain and figs and vines, pomegranates.
Speaker 4: We have nothing. Have you forgotten what you taught us?
Speaker 8: We are the Lord's assembly, and yet we are still
Speaker 8: not in the promised land.
Speaker 3: You uprooted our fathers from Egypt just to strand us
Speaker 3: in this evil place.
Speaker 9: I'm starting to think you're afraid, Moses, not capable of
Speaker 9: leading us anymore. You don't have the boldness to lead
Speaker 9: us to the land of the promise. Does the Lord
Speaker 9: even speak to you anymore? Do you even have the
Speaker 9: authority to read?
Speaker 1: The crowd gathered around the instigators and devolved into shouting.
Speaker 1: Then Moses's mouth fell open in shock at these bold claims.
Speaker 1: One look at Aaron told him he was experiencing the
Speaker 1: same shock. The crowd before him blurred until he could
Speaker 1: only see read, and that familiar, willing sound returned, and
Speaker 1: Moses has again lost in his roiling thoughts.
Speaker 4: Of realizing.
Speaker 1: His hands gripped his staff, and just as he began
Speaker 1: to raise it, his body took over and his mind
Speaker 1: went blank with rage. Suddenly, a strong hand gripped his arm,
Speaker 1: and he saw Joshua's pleading face before him.
Speaker 3: Moses, please go before the Lord and ask for water,
Speaker 3: ask him to provide a way for us to stay here.
Speaker 3: Don't dignify their complaints with your rage.
Speaker 1: Moses' vision cleared.
Speaker 2: The boy was right.
Speaker 1: He was letting the people's words fester, poking at old
Speaker 1: insecurities and wounds from his past. He loosened his grip
Speaker 1: on the staff, flexing his hands and slowing his breath.
Speaker 1: Joshua stepped back but watched him with concern. Moses scowled
Speaker 1: at the shouting crowd, but said nothing. If they wanted
Speaker 1: to see his authority, he would show them by fulfilling
Speaker 1: his role, something none of them could do. Grasping Aaron's arm,
Speaker 1: Moses led him to the tabernacle. Aaron struggled to keep
Speaker 1: up these days. He hobbled, sometimes losing his way. Yet
Speaker 1: Moses was always there to guide him. He would until
Speaker 1: the bitter end. Inside they knelt in the most holy
Speaker 1: place and waited for the Lord to speak.
Speaker 2: Take the staff, the one I used to appoint the
Speaker 2: high priest, the one that sprouted before all Israel, and
Speaker 2: assemble the community by the dry stream. You and your
Speaker 2: brother Aaron are to speak to the source the rock
Speaker 2: while they want, Then it will yield its water. In
Speaker 2: that way, he would bring out water from them from
Speaker 2: the rock, and I drink for the entire community and
Speaker 2: live stock.
Speaker 1: Deep beneath Moses simmering anger, He knew he should be
Speaker 1: grateful for the solution the Lord provided. He knew he
Speaker 1: should rejoice that this spark of rebellion would not lead
Speaker 1: to ruin. Yet the sting of the people's complaints gnawed
Speaker 1: at him, distracting him, buzzing in his mind, crowding out
Speaker 1: the place where he usually felt the ever present presence
Speaker 1: of the Lord. Aaron mad the incense to fill the
Speaker 1: most holy place, veiling the glory of the Lord, and
Speaker 1: retrieved the sprouted starf from the ark of the Covenant.
Speaker 1: Both men marveled at how the olmans and blossoms had
Speaker 1: remained fresh and unaged. A true symbol of divine authority.
Speaker 1: Moses was to wield it. Taking the staff in hand,
Speaker 1: he led the reluctant, murmuring assembly of God's people out
Speaker 1: to the rock. Moses did as the Lord commanded, standing
Speaker 1: with Aaron before the gathered people of Israel in front
Speaker 1: of the dry rock. The crowd pressed in and around
Speaker 1: the creek bed, their water skins and jars held limply,
Speaker 1: their faces marked by doubt. They did not expect anything,
Speaker 1: nor did they believe Moses carried the true authority of God.
Speaker 1: They were too young to understand the significance of the
Speaker 1: staff in Moses hands. They hadn't seen the Nile turn
Speaker 1: to blood, or the Red Sea split in two. Yet
Speaker 1: here they were again, in Kaidish, at the edge of
Speaker 1: the promised Land, caught in the same cycle of doubt, fear,
Speaker 1: and disloyalty their parents had. Moses knew he had to
Speaker 1: end this uprising before it took root. He had to
Speaker 1: remind them of their place and the divine power at
Speaker 1: work among them.
Speaker 6: Listen, you rebels, must erin, and I bring what out
Speaker 6: of this rock for you. We will show you where
Speaker 6: true authority lies.
Speaker 1: Anger surged, unchecked through Moses, finally unleashed as he spoke
Speaker 1: with ferocity to the ungrateful crowd. He raised his hand
Speaker 1: and struck the rock with the sprouted staff. The impact
Speaker 1: reverberated up his arm, jarring his shoulder, fueling his rage further.
Speaker 1: He struck the rock a second time. Water gushed in
Speaker 1: a torrent, filling the dry creek bed and surging into
Speaker 1: the camp. The current flowed fast and strong, spreading through
Speaker 1: the plains beyond. The people gasped and cheered, Astonished by
Speaker 1: the sight. Even Moses stood stunned. He had seen waterfalls
Speaker 1: in Egypt, that such a rush of water was unheard
Speaker 1: of in the desert. The people's amazement softened their anger.
Speaker 1: Moses saw Aaron's shoulders slump with relief, But as their
Speaker 1: relief settled Moses felt the presence of the Lord's stir
Speaker 1: within him. A familiar fear prickled his spine, and Aaron
Speaker 1: looked at him, worry creasing his face.
Speaker 9: He wants to speak with us, doesn't he?
Speaker 4: Yes, he does?
Speaker 9: Or Moses, we acted like those arrogant magicians back.
Speaker 5: At Pharaoh's court? What he acted like? What was his name?
Speaker 9: Remember Ramsey's high priest and that slippery snake of a
Speaker 9: man Nebermond, tolting the Lord's.
Speaker 4: Power as if it was our own.
Speaker 10: We've grown to accustom to oppositions.
Speaker 9: We've become compliant in our steady rain over the people.
Speaker 8: We're no better than those Egyptians.
Speaker 1: Aaron was right. Moses's stomach dropped out as he recalled
Speaker 1: the things he thought and said in his anger. His
Speaker 1: hardened heart was no better than Ramsey's. Moses swallowed and
Speaker 1: then nodded to Aaron. The two of them went away
Speaker 1: from the still celebrating crowds along the bank of the
Speaker 1: now rushing stream and knelt before the god they had
Speaker 1: been following for the last century.
Speaker 4: Lord speak, we are ready to hear.
Speaker 1: You, Moses felt to Lord's disappointment in the silence that
Speaker 1: hung between them. He hung his head in shame. He understood,
Speaker 1: in his haste and anger and pride he had taken
Speaker 1: up the Lord's authority and waved it before the masses
Speaker 1: as if it was his own. His heart sank. He
Speaker 1: was lucky to be alive and kneeling before the Lord
Speaker 1: at all. If any one else had been so brazenly
Speaker 1: disrespectful to his God, he would have expected the holy
Speaker 1: fires to consume them immediately. He had seen it happen
Speaker 1: a lot, and it had been justified. Tears brimmed in
Speaker 1: Moses's eyes. He had failed again.
Speaker 6: Why am I still kneeling, still breathing?
Speaker 4: Why am I still living at all?
Speaker 1: At the thought, he held his breath and waited for wrath,
Speaker 1: waited for fire, waited for oblivion. But it did not come.
Speaker 1: There was only stillness, and in that stillness resolution.
Speaker 4: Yet you would let us live.
Speaker 1: He wept at the Lord's mercy, and Aaron wept beside him.
Speaker 1: It was not until Moses understood that the Lord finally spoke.
Speaker 2: You understand, You understand that you did not trust me
Speaker 2: to demonstrate mine holiness in the sight of all Israel.
Speaker 2: You took it upon yourself. You acted accordingly. To your
Speaker 2: own authority.
Speaker 1: Moses continued to weep as he remembered the Lord's instructions.
Speaker 1: The realization pressed down on him like a great weight.
Speaker 1: He was to speak and the water would flow from
Speaker 1: the rock. But in losing control, and in the midst
Speaker 1: of his outburst, he struck the rock twice, struck it
Speaker 1: out of anger.
Speaker 2: Because of this act of rebellion, neither of you will
Speaker 2: bring this assembly into the land I have given them.
Speaker 1: Moses slumped, and he felt Aaron collapse in despair beside him.
Speaker 1: He had heard the Lord as well. Moses was grateful
Speaker 1: he didn't have to relay the words. He doubted he
Speaker 1: could find the words to express this profound and utter failure.
Speaker 1: His words spoken in obedience could have brought life, but
Speaker 1: instead his angry words would only bring death and disappointment.
Speaker 7: I have to admit this story is really hard to understand.
Speaker 7: Moses strikes the rock instead of speaking to it as
Speaker 7: God has commanded, and for that he is punished by
Speaker 7: not being permitted to enter the promised Land. Leading the
Speaker 7: people into the Holy Land was his life's goal. Why
Speaker 7: was the punishment so severe? The great nineteenth century sage
Speaker 7: Rabby Neftalites via Huda Berlin explains this story in a
Speaker 7: different way, a way that's very interesting. He notes that
Speaker 7: this was the thirty eighth year for the Israelites in
Speaker 7: the desert, and that the generation who witnessed the Exodus
Speaker 7: and the giving of the Torah had almost completely died out.
Speaker 7: The Israelites in this story hadn't seen the miracles in Egypt,
Speaker 7: they hadn't experienced God's presence at Mount Sinai. These Israelites
Speaker 7: needed an injection of faith, and Rabbi Berlin says that
Speaker 7: it's here where Moses failed. Instead of listening exactly to
Speaker 7: God's command, Moses displayed anger and despair, and instead of
Speaker 7: giving the people the us sure of faith that they
Speaker 7: needed so badly, Moses calls them rebels. As a result,
Speaker 7: got understood that while Moses was the perfect leader for
Speaker 7: the previous generation, this new generation actually needed a different
Speaker 7: kind of leadership, a leader who was more inspirational and
Speaker 7: less confrontational. And so the decree for Moses not to
Speaker 7: enter the Holy Land wasn't really a punishment. Rather, it
Speaker 7: was the recognition that Moses, as holy as he was,
Speaker 7: was not the right leader for the new generation. About
Speaker 7: to make the transition to living in and building the
Speaker 7: Promised Land. It's difficult and it's sometimes painful to realize
Speaker 7: that new leadership is needed, but we see from the
Speaker 7: stories that it's necessary. Even Moses couldn't be a leader forever.
Speaker 7: And we learn from Rabbi Berlin's explanation that every generation
Speaker 7: needs a leader who can inspire faith. The person who
Speaker 7: did that for a previous generation might not inspire the
Speaker 7: new one. It's a hard lesson, but it's a very
Speaker 7: important one. This story is more than just one story
Speaker 7: about a simple mistake or a moment of frustration. God
Speaker 7: commanded Moses to speak to the rock, but instead Moses
Speaker 7: hit the rock, and on the surface, that seems like
Speaker 7: the problem disobedience to God's clear instructions. But the deeper
Speaker 7: issue is one of trust. Moses's frustration clouded his vision,
Speaker 7: and his loss of perspective led to an act of desperation,
Speaker 7: and it's here that we find a deep truth. Gratitude
Speaker 7: is a form of faith when we can recognize the
Speaker 7: good even in the dry and barren wilderness. We declare
Speaker 7: our trust in God in Hebrew Hakarata Toau. Recognizing the
Speaker 7: good is what it's called and it's not just about
Speaker 7: being thankful. It's about acknowledging that every blessing, every provision
Speaker 7: comes from God. Moses, for all of his greatness, missed
Speaker 7: that moment. How many times do we miss the good
Speaker 7: in our lives because of frustration, because we want something else,
Speaker 7: we want something more. It's something to think about as
Speaker 7: we learn from the victories and the failures of the
Speaker 7: chosen people who came before us. There is one more
Speaker 7: teaching from Jewish tradition that want to share with you today.
Speaker 7: Our tradition teaches that Moses did just hit the rock.
Speaker 4: He spoke to the wrong one.
Speaker 7: The Lord had told Moses to speak to the same
Speaker 7: rock that had blessed the people with water for forty years.
Speaker 7: But Moses, in a moment of frustration, couldn't even recognize
Speaker 7: the life giving rock. He lost sight of the gift
Speaker 7: God had provided, and in that moment he failed to
Speaker 7: see the blessing in front of him. I'll repeat that
Speaker 7: Hebrew phrase for gratitude that I used earlier. In Hebrew,
Speaker 7: the term for recognizing the good is hakarat hatauv, and
Speaker 7: Moses at this moment didn't have hakaratatov. He didn't recognize
Speaker 7: the good, the blessing that God had given him. It
Speaker 7: wasn't about striking the rock. It was about failing to
Speaker 7: see the miracle that was right in front of his eyes.
Speaker 7: How often do we do the same? How often do
Speaker 7: we miss the good because we're so focused on what
Speaker 7: we lack? Moses, our greatest leader, made mistakes, and from
Speaker 7: his story we learn a powerful truth that even the
Speaker 7: greatest among us aren't perfect. We fall, we fail, but
Speaker 7: that's not the end. It's not about being flawless. It's
Speaker 7: about learning from our mistakes, recognizing the good, and keeping
Speaker 7: our hearts set on the promised land. We don't have
Speaker 7: to be perfect, We just have to keep trying.
