Often when they came to a desert something like this in the subsequent verse would happen.

They should have gotten the pattern by now that got will take them though either ways.

These guys have a character of sarcasm and such gross disrespect.
Anytime they are pushed to the wall and tested they spoke so bad.

Atleast complain with some respect https://bible.com/bible/1/num.20.3.KJV

How does this translate into unbelief. Looks more like disobedience. Or could it be that behind this act of disobediece was unbelief https://bible.com/bible/1/num.20.12.KJV
Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.
Numbers 20:24 KJV COMMENTARY https://bible.com/bible/1/num.20.24.KJV
These men had literally become divine.
They were going to live until the word of the lord was fulfilled not matter how long it took.
But now alas the lord called Aaron.
