Moses named the place where the Israelites drank water from the rock "Mesah and Meribah' particularly because---------
They wanted to put the lord to test
They made him strike the rock angrily
The people had enough water to drink
Of their fault finding attitude
Explanation
The names "Massah" and "Meribah" were given to the place where the Israelites complained about the lack of water in the wilderness and tested God's presence.
- Massah means "testing", referring to how the Israelites questioned whether God was among them.
- Meribah means "quarreling", referring to their complaints against Moses and God.
This event is recorded in Exodus 17:1–7, where the Israelites grumbled and doubted God's provision, saying, "Is the Lord among us or not?" (Exodus 17:7).
