📚 Historical Context
Moses is giving his farewell address to the Israelites before they enter the Promised Land. He's referring to the incident at Meribah where he struck the rock twice instead of speaking to it as God commanded, which happened because the people complained about lack of water. Though the people's constant grumbling and rebellion contributed to the situation, Moses took responsibility for his own disobedience to God's specific instructions.
