God asked Moses to strike the rock once to get the water for the thirsting Israelites. In an act of disobedience based on lack of faith, he struck the rock twice. As punishment, he wasn't allowed to enter the promised land.

Remember, the freed hebrews were still not trusting of the miracle that God had provided them via Moses. God needed that generation to die off so the ills that were with them die off too, which was unfortunate for Moses. Moses did not obey God and was apart of the ills of his people. Remember they were not far from the Promised Land.

Because he didn't obey God. God told him to touch the rock with his staff to bring forth water so the people would know that God was providing for them. Instead, he smote the rock and took credit for bringing forth water for himself. For this God said he could see the promised land but not enter it.

He disobeyed God in Numbers 20:1-11. He was supposed to Speak to the rock, but he struck the rock instead.

Because when the Israelites were complaining he performed a miricle and he and his brother didnt give credit to God because Moses and AAron were just supposed to be spokes person to God and they took credit but he was able to see it from the mountain he just wasnt able to enter

Because he had the blood of a man on his hands in other words he killed someone to save another but in early times before the coming of jesus to earth this broke the ten commandments.After jesus came he was given to be lord of all but most jews still dont accept him .So in believing in him gentiles were forgiven and so are murderers if they repent .Thats what christians are taught .

because God told him to tap a rock to get water out of it and he hit it and god didn't let him as a punishment for his rage. he died after he saw it but wasn't allowed in.
