And He made him suck honey from the rock,

And two put ten thousand to flight,
Unless their Rock had sold them,
And the Lord had given them up?

because you broke faith with Me among of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribah-kadesh, in the Wilderness of Zin, and because you did not treat Me as holy among of the sons of Israel.
For you shall see the land opposite you from a distance, but you shall not go there, into the land which I am giving to the children of Israel.”
This is the blessing with which Moses the man of God
He said,

He shone forth from Mount Paran,
