In this week’s Torah portion is the famous story of Moses hitting the rock to get water and God subsequently barring him from leading the nation to the land of Israel. Why would Moses do that? What was his thinking? This week, we will explore this question in the context of water, Miriam, and the question of what it means to have faith. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Tears in my eyes listening to this. All my life believing Christ was the rock, but stopping right there. Never going any deeper. Shame living this long and only now learning how beautiful and perfect the Torah is.
Torah is the real thing the Old testament .was having buy god HaShem he said I'm you god no one will come before me.he revel he's back.
Torah is the foundation of the Brit hadasha. Continue to beleive in Yeshua Ha Moshiach as the foundation Rock .
In the begining was The Word and the Word was with G-D, and THE WORD WAS G-D.
Why would you believe in anything but the Torah and in Jewish people are the chosen that outlasted egyptin greek, roman empire. Just one fact none of those cultures exist
We're told in 1 Corinthians 10:4 that they drank the same spiritual drink "For they drank of spiritual Rock that followed them, that was Christ." The rock was a picture of Christ, of how we are to have faith in Him and of how He is the constant source of our spiritual life and power. To add to Parshat Chukat's teaching here: we are not to trust in Miriam for the water, but in Christ.
Jesus Christ is our Rock - Yeshua HaMashiach! When Miriam was alive, Moses had to hit the rock to get water. When Miriam was not alive - he had to speak to the rock... There is another Miriam - at the Calvary. When the soldier with his spear struck Jesus the Rock, from His body flowed blood and WATER... and Miriam was alive. Now, Miriam is not alive and we are to speak to the Rock, pray to Him and He will give you living water. Amen!
This part of the Torah brings tears to those that are sensitive enough to see what was going on
"Just because I can't figure it out doesn't mean that's there is no way out"
Great words I just noted.
I’m Christian and I’ve been following this story whole Moses & Israel leaving Egypt story. this scene got me so intrigued, i understand the people were so stubborn most times and am pretty sure Moses must’ve been accustomed to their complaints & live threats; yes, is not easy to deal with people so heard-headed but I knew there must’ve been more than just that, it didn’t make sense to me; in fact, I’ve been searching, reading other articles about this specific matter….why?? however, after watching this video it put ALL the puzzles together, more of in-depth search. thank you for this lesson. shalom
Yes, knowing Miriam had just died, and the grief Moshe was going through at the same time is an important insight.
The connection with Miriam's well is crucial to understanding.
Todah Rabbi Forhman and Aleph Beta Team for updating the exodus path of the Israelites (in Midian). Truly your Torah and Jewish Teachings are a Blessing to us all (Jews and Gentiles.). Much Shalom.
Wow...is this Catholic pretend to be follower of Jesus? Uplifting as Catholics does with Mary (Mariam in Hebrew)
I am a Christian and this is a beautiful, relevant explanation. Thank you so much. I need to have this kind of faith and obedience to the Lord in my life.
Lori, not just obedience to the Lord, but to the Father of Creation. It's always wh Yeshua pointed to.
This was such an amazing breakdown to understanding why Moshe hit the rock. Thank you!
thank you so much! I really love your wonderful insights! Shabbat Shalom
This made me cry! Thank you
So beautiful and insightful!
As a Catholic this video has me shaking
Thank God we today now have access to God because Jesus was struck once now The Spirit speaks to us
Great revealing insight. But please turn down the music volume and raise the speech volume. Inaudible at some important statements.
Beauuuutiful! Thank you! 🙌💖😭
Wonderful!
Are you saying this is the same rock Moshe spoke to the first time? So in Chukat he is striking the same rock? Please clarify.
He struck the rock instead of declaring the rock? The prophetic picture was changed, the Mashiyach is the rock.
God's word tells us why Moses hit the rock. He was mad at the people. Then we learn if we remove some of the letters in Miriam's name and mix up the rest we get these deep meanings. Ok then. There are deep thoughts worth contemplating here, but let's keep God's word in focus. Not meaning to be discouraging at all. If you got deep meaning from this teaching praise God! Just encouraging us to be true to God's word.
Thank Y'all
Miriam you forget rebelled against Moses and 2as struck with leprosy. Also Miriam was a focus of their faith. So that is why moses struck twice, same with the golden calf, symbol of Hathor the Egyptian goddess. Again from Adam,he listened to his partner and it was death
I cried like a child on this one I must admit
MR. Ray Vanderland has 30 minute videos and one is called why did Moses strike the Rock. Excellent.
Do you happen to know where to find that video of Ray Vander Laan? I’d love to see it!!
HI Rabbi Forman, I love Aleph Beta, thank you for the wonderful teachings. But...Can you lower the volume of the background music? Sometimes it is too loud and makes it hard to understand. Thank you!
Wow...is this Catholic pretend to be follower of Jesus? Uplifting her as Catholics does with Mary (Miriam in Hebrew)?
@@narrowwaytolife4525 what are you talking about? Who are you talking to?
Did you not praise Forman? Him I am talking to but to you because you appreciate his teaching.
Also, Jesus said in Matthew 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
@@narrowwaytolife4525 lol yes i like his teachings. And im not Catholic by no means. Lol you have a great life!
@@TheMJT515 In your heart you are Catholic because you do not discern his teaching to know what he is leading his follower to.
Pray for discernment and read the Bible so you can reprove any man's interputation.
G8 video thanks 😊
What is the sound music? Please tell me? ❤️
Thank you for this beautiful Torah teaching. There is still another way to read the name of Miriam. If you spell it backwards מרים becomes מי רם . In English.... Exalted Water.
Hi, where can I find the the video from last year that you mention in the video
Why don't any of the classical commentaries cut Moshe some slack as he is in shivah week.
I did hear once about Moshe sitting Shiva. I have the same idea.
Let's not strike at each other we are all here
YHWEY is the living water.
How did they move the well along with them for 40 years as they wondered the desert ?
The Rock is Messiah. He was only to be struck once, then spoken to. There is only One Sacrifice! Messiah can not and will not be crucified again for those who continue in sin.
He struct the rock because he was pissed off in going circles with his people in a desert for decades and while at the same time his people were dying.
It was literally 80 years since his anger led him to commit the sin of Cain: murder. He called the people "rebels." The truth is, he never dealt with his anger issue. 80 years later, he was still striking out in anger rather than trusting God will solve things.
Amen!
Yeh but they got another leader in Emmanuel years later. Water from his side....
Stfu stop corrupting the Torah with your fantasies of your man g-d
@@davidzamora8551 Yes your right, only God and his only begotten Son can open their eyes. Sorry you are not a believer, as the Torah is a precurser to the New Testament. He said, if you don't believe that the Father has sent me, you will die in your sins, as he is our only Savour in this fleshy world. So not corrupting at all, just confirming the truth to them. Its difficult to help them get saved as we are in the time of the Christian grace before the resurrection. Take care and thanks for your time.
I'm confused how this is the same rock he hit 40 years before when they aren't in the same place? Did they carry it around with them?
He explicitly said that it's the same rock.
He is referring to the text, within the story the definite article is used for rock and staff. Moses was commanded to take his staff, and elsewhere the staff.
The presumption is the staff is the one that almonds budded upon it.
They traveled in circles, so that's why I believe he states it was the same exact location earlier - the test to see if they learned the lesson.
The Sages bring down that the rock miraculously traveled with them in the desert. They didn’t need to carry it. There were four primary miracles that occurred in the desert: 1) the “clouds of glory”, which shielded the nation of Israel and protected them during their travels, 2) the “Manna”, the nourishment that descended from heaven, 3) the pillars of fire, which guided the Israel when they traveled at night, and finally 4) the well of Miriam (the rock), which provided water for Israel.
The rock traveled with them. Miraculously, by the grace of Gd, nobody had to carry it.
The first time, not only to give water, but to strike the dead Adam to make way for the future messiah. BUT, by striking it twice, it gave a condition that if the Jews rejected the messiah, Lucifer could strike and kill the messiah, which sadly happened.
Yeshua is the rock that brought forth living water. Yahweh allowed the rock to be struck once but after that never again. Yeshua was struck and crucified once. It won’t happen again. This is why Moses was told to speak to the rock the 2nd time.

These stories are also a typology for Jesus being the Water of Life who nourishes and cleans us of our sin through his blood, his sacrifice on the cross. Jesus is King. Also when Moses hit the rock it was an analogy for how the Israelites were cleansed and forgiven of their sin through sacrifices of animals ( listed in the Torah), i.e. by a work of their hands through the law (striking the Rock). But with Jesus and his perfect sacrifice , we have no need of any work to save us, we only need to ask Him for forgiveness , (speak to the Rock).
Speak to the Rock = speak to Jesus, have a personal relationship with Him and He will give you living water.
Amen everyone.
Please repent of idolatry and obey the seven Noahide laws. ❤️
@@sitresjolie2343 I would rather obey God than man made laws, but thanks for your concern. Jesus is King
Another lesson is that if u are holy and closer to God u are held to higher standard so that's why Moses didn't get to go to Israel
Yep, dude KNEW. He smashed the very tablets of law in anger the first time. Literally, he threw away God's creation of the law in his tantrum. He struck the rock the same way, in anger. He killed a man in the same anger. He was like 120+ years old and STILL not getting it. He even witnessed that the people's rebellion and lack of faith led to 40 years wandering in the desert. It also led to Miriam dying in the desert and not entering the promise land. But God had already said NO ONE Above 20 would enter except the two men with faith to say, "let's go fight." NO ONE.
Moses and Miriam were included in that NO ONE, 40 years earlier. God already knew Moses would rebel and keep rebelling. He knew, even back then.
Jesus Christ is our Rock - Yeshua HaMashiach! When Miriam was alive, Moses had to hit the rock to get water. When Miriam was not alive - he had to speak to the rock... There is another Miriam - at the Calvary. When the soldier with his spear struck Jesus the Rock, from His body flowed blood and WATER... and Miriam was alive. Now, Miriam is not alive and we are to speak to the Rock, pray to Him and He will give you living water. Amen!
i think it has to do with faith, same like Jericho, do the jews believe that god gives them the water or does the striking of the rock give them water. do the jews think the trumpets will bring the walls down or that god will. and as for why the word over the stick, there's only one person who is the word, and i think moses was punished for not showing the jews the power of it.
Hi, it's a precursor to being thrust through when Jesus had blood and (water) from his side,. So God given water from the rock. Its to fulfill the scriptures that he was the only Son who can save them from their/our Sins. God told them to do it and believed that his power would deliver them. Your right, problems in this world is because we go our own way and not by his words and commandments.
This is the second time at the Rock. None of my people move
Look to the rock from which you are hewn. Torah is the Rock doesn't move. It's true whether we support it or not. Col ami Yisrael blvavnu HaTorah
Midrash Rabbah Exodus 3.14: "He smote the rock and brought forth blood, as it is said: Behold, He smote the rock, that waters gushed out - wayazubu (Psalm 78:20), and the word wa-yazubu is an expression used of blood, as it is said: And if a woman have an issue (yazub) of her blood (Leviticus 15:25). For this reason did he smite the rock twice, because at first he brought forth blood and finally water."
I don't agree thats putting faith in mariaan then the Most High
It seems Moses was angry. The people didn't trust him and God they had problems and moses had to deal with it. 40 years for I'm the desert cus of these people. His patience was Wearing thin. Rabbi teach us patience before we lose our heads and tell God we are through. I lost mine I hope the others do not. When that happens we lose everything.
God is the rock
No god make in image of a person .wen he gave us the Torah he just show he's back .and flash of light.
3 Chances (crisis) to Repent. Their last chance to repent.
A rock of about 220 pounds falls off the western wall: The 5 signs of God: 1) The coming of the King prophesied in Daniel. (is it a coincidence that the rock fell next to Daniella?) Daniel 2:33-35 33 "His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. Daniel 2:43-45 43 "And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure." 2) The stone fell the day after prayer due to the destruction of the temple: Luke 20:17 "And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?" 1 Corinthians 3:9-11 9 "For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ." 3) The stone was on the third level of block of stones : Matthew 12:38-40 38 "Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." 4) It fell in common ground of prayer for man and women: Galatians 3:28 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."5) The stone fell from 7 metres high, the number of spiritual perfection and of the Holy Spirit : John 1:25-27 25 "And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose."Matthew 3:11-12 "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire 12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
Shalom,
Miriam appears again, she gives birth to a child, his name being Yeshua; he spilt his blood and water for the sins of the world. Do you see the connection, or are you blinded by the stiffness of tradition. Our Creator is Echad, and His way is truth, baruch be the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Deuteronomy 6:4-5; Mark 12:29-31. Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai.
Lehitraot.
Echod means one. If you believe in one, you condemn ditrinity and you should. It's blasfumas to the one and only G-D. Now by spelling out the name of G-D, you have committed a terrible crime/syn. That is putting Hashems name in vain.
Beautiful
@@naftalikleinman God is one in essence and three in person. Each person is fully God.
@@vania698 wrong
Vania it doesnt make sense what you are saying..
HalleluYah!!!!!!! we must learn this lesson now by calling out in His True Name! Emunah not faith the name of a pagan deity. It is our Creator alone in each of us individually that must learn to trust in the true Name. We deny His awesome power when we refuse to call out in His Name. Shema Israel. The wandering will stop when Messiah returns. We will be faced with a final test as many false ones have come. There is a spectacular hologram show being planned before the Great I am sends the true Messiah back. Abba sits on a very high and esteemed throne. A Creator to be worshipped cannot die. One, the second Adahm had to be sent. Since Messiah's death and resurrection blasphemies have abounded. We do not have to be confused, deceived and lied to again and again.. Watch Mark Manning's video "Who is G_d?" on the CZcams platform "Messenger of the Name." We need the FULL berakah promised to the descendants of the House of Israel. I too was in error calling on false ones. This yom, I watched many of these cartoons and received understanding. How many more crises must the land, Zion endure before our Creator receives our full worship? Be not stubborn & stiff necked like your ancestors. These instances of rebellion were written for our admonition. The true Messiah came in the Name of His Abba. Who are we to limit The Most High and tell Him that He cannot have a Ben? The Lion of the Tribe of Yahudah has prevailed. This Earth is too wicked. It is not a flood but this time great stones of fire that will come down as in Somdom and Gomorrah. The false one that will appear will be none other than the seed of Nimrod that the adversary will inhabit spueing out bblasphemies. Abraham was promised to be a berakah to all nations as Abraham called out in the True Name and so must we. Shema Israel, our salvation is nearer than we first believed. I do not come in a fake paganistic Greek Pagan name. Do the research as you know and are the carriers of the Ancient Scrolls the nabiy nebuahd in the True Name. They never called the Creator Hashem! Yirmeyahu 8:8.
I see the Rock represents Y'shua, & He will only be struck once, He is the Living Waters

You are striking the Rock - Read Ezek. 20:34
We speak of "the Rock". Adonai Elohim is our Creator, we cannot strike "the Rock". As is witnessed, you can only strike "the Rock" once; then you speak to "the Rock".
Shalom.
Hashem is the Rock, no one else
Miriam, daughter of Heli, the last son of David of the proper line of David who could be king, gave birth (her water broke) to Yeshua, (God is our salvation) and the nation of Israel (Moses) struck Him (in the persons of the Sanhedrin). He was crucified (may His blood be upon us and upon our children was their cry and so it was in 70 AD). He rose again from the dead on the THIRD DAY. He is the rock of our salvation, the fount of living water who has never failed us. When He returns, do not strike Him nor attempt to as rebels, but accept your long awaited king please. An imposter will come first, born not long ago but recently in the line of David but not the proper one, the cursed lineage. See Matthew for the cursed lineage is the lineage of Joseph. The proper lineage is in Luke and was suspended when Messiah left having no children but He will return the true and rightful heir to the throne to rule and reign soon. You will see Him coming in the clouds, every eye will see Him.
That Rock is Messiyah Yahushua.
