And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 20 of Numbers. Miriam dies at Kadesh, and shortly afterward the people again complain about the lack of water. God commands Moses to speak to the rock, but Moses strikes it twice. Although water comes forth, God declares that Moses and Aaron will not bring the community into the land. The episode highlights the special responsibility of leaders and shows that an apparently effective response does not make an action obedient when it violates the command received.

Jehová les dijo a Moisés y a Aarón: «Por cuanto no creyeron en mí para mostrar mi santidad ante los ojos de los hijos de Israel, no llevarán esta asamblea a la tierra que les he dado».
Alors l'Eternel dit à Moïse et à Aaron: Parce que vous n'avez pas cru en moi, pour me sanctifier aux yeux des enfants d'Israël, vous ne ferez point entrer cette assemblée dans le pays que je lui donne.
Poi il Signore disse a Mosè e ad Aaronne: Perciocchè voi non mi avete creduto, per santificarmi in presenza dei figliuoli d’Israele; perciò voi non introdurrete questa raunanza nel paese che io ho lor donato.
E o SENHOR disse a Moisés e a Arão: Porquanto não crestes em mim, para me santificardes diante dos filhos de Israel, por isso não introduzireis esta congregação na terra que lhes tenho dado.
