You were guiding your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

It's true that Moses struck the rock so that water flowed forth and torrents of water gushed out, but is he also able to give bread or to supply meat for his people?"

Blessed be Yahweh forevermore. Amen, and Amen. BOOK IV A Prayer by Moses, the man of God.

{A Prayer of Moses the man of God.} Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

For all our days pass away in Your wrath;
We have finished our years like a whispered sigh.

Moses and Aaron were among His priests;
Samuel also was among those calling on His name.
They called to Yahweh and He answered them.

He revealed His ways to Moses,
His deeds to the people of Israel.

He sent Moses His servant,
and Aaron, whom He had chosen.

In the camp they were envious of Moses
and of Aaron, the Lord’s holy one.

So He said He would have destroyed them—
if Moses His chosen one
had not stood before Him in the breach
to turn His wrath away from destroying them.

They angered the Lord at the waters of Meribah,
and Moses suffered because of them;

Because they were rebellious against His Spirit,
Moses spoke recklessly with his lips.
