Y Jehová dijo á Moisés y á Aarón: Por cuanto no creísteis en mí, para santificarme en ojos de los hijos de Israel, por tanto, no meteréis esta congregación en la tierra que les he dado.

¿Qué significa esto?

God tells Moses and Aaron that they will not lead the Israelites into the Promised Land because they did not trust God fully at Meribah when they needed to speak to the rock for water, instead striking it.
