Numbers 20 · Grade 2

Moses and the Rock

Name Date

Read the Story

The people had no water. They were thirsty and upset. They got angry at Moses and Aaron.

God told Moses, Talk to the rock, and water will come out. But Moses was angry. He hit the rock two times with his stick. Water came out, and everyone drank.

God was sad that Moses did not do what He said. God said Moses would not lead the people into the new land. God still took care of His people.

Memory Verse

“Moses lifted up his hand, and struck the rock with his rod twice, and water came out abundantly. The congregation and their livestock drank.”

Numbers 20:11 (WEB)
