Contextual Overview

13But they quickly forgot His works; They did not [patiently] wait for His counsel and purpose [to be revealed regarding them], 14But lusted intensely in the wilderness And tempted God [with their insistent desires] in the desert. 15So He gave them their request, But sent a wasting disease among them. 16They envied Moses in the camp, And Aaron [the high priest], the holy one of the LORD, 17Therefore the earth opened and swallowed Dathan, And engulfed the company of Abiram. 18And a fire broke out in their company; The flame consumed the wicked. 19They made a calf in Horeb (Sinai) And worshiped a cast image. 20Thus they exchanged [the true God who was] their glory For the image of an ox that eats grass. 21They forgot God their Savior, Who had done such great things in Egypt, 22Wonders in the land of Ham, Awesome things at the Red Sea.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

They angered him also at the waters of strife,.... Or, "at the waters of Meribah" z; that is, Meribahkadesh, as it is called in

Deuteronomy 32:51 to distinguish it from Meribahrephidim, where also were waters of strife or contradiction; at which the people murmured and strove with the Lord, and greatly displeased him, Exodus 17:7.

So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes; he was not suffered to go with them into the good land; though he most earnestly desired it, it could not be granted: but when he was just upon the borders of it, he is bid to go up to the mount, and take a view of it, and die; and all because of what was done at this place; see Numbers 20:12.

z על מי מריבה "super aquas Meribah", Montanus; "apud Memeriba", Tigurine version; "juxta aquas Meriba", Gejerus; so Ainsworth.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They angered him also at the waters of strife - Numbers 20:3-13. They complained of the lack of water. They wished that they had died as others had done. They murmured against God as if he could not supply their needs. They showed an unbelieving and rebellious spirit - provoking God, and tempting Moses to in act of great impatience by their conduct. In Numbers 20:13, this is, “the waters of Meribah;” - margin, “strife.” This is the meaning of the Hebrew word. The place took its name from the fact that the people there strove against the Lord and against Moses.

So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes - Evil came upon him. He was betrayed into impatience, and was tempted to use words which offended God, and prevented his being permitted to lead the people into the promised land. Numbers 20:12.
