Smite the Rock and water (Holy Spirit) gushes out.
Speak to the Rock and water (Holy spirit) gushes out.
Speak to the Rock and water (Holy spirit) gushes out.
It is taught by some that the fact that the Rock was not to be struck again is where the principle of Hebrews 6:6 comes from:
"To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace." - Hebrews 6:6
Crucifying Christ all over again (striking the Rock) is prohibited by God for the reasons given.
I think this helps explain God's displeasure in Moses striking the rock again.
