Where Meribah appears in Scripture
וַיִּקְרָא שֵׁם הַמָּקוֹם מַסָּה וּמְרִיבָה עַל-רִיב׀ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעַל נַסֹּתָם אֶת-יְהוָה לֵאמֹר הֲיֵשׁ יְהוָה בְּקִרְבֵּנוּ אִם-אָֽיִן׃
And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?
הֵמָּה מֵי מְרִיבָה אֲשֶׁר-רָבוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-יְהוָה וַיִּקָּדֵשׁ בָּֽם׃
This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
יֵֽאָסֵף אַֽהֲרֹן אֶל-עַמָּיו כִּי לֹא יָבֹא אֶל-הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר נָתַתִּי לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל עַל אֲשֶׁר-מְרִיתֶם אֶת-פִּי לְמֵי מְרִיבָֽה׃
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.
כַּֽאֲשֶׁר מְרִיתֶם פִּי בְּמִדְבַּר-צִן בִּמְרִיבַת הָֽעֵדָה לְהַקְדִּישֵׁנִי בַמַּיִם לְעֵֽינֵיהֶם הֵם מֵֽי-מְרִיבַת קָדֵשׁ מִדְבַּר-צִֽן׃
For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
וּלְלֵוִי אָמַר תֻּמֶּיךָ וְאוּרֶיךָ לְאִישׁ חֲסִידֶךָ אֲשֶׁר נִסִּיתוֹ בְּמַסָּה תְּרִיבֵהוּ עַל-מֵי מְרִיבָֽה׃
And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
בַּצָּרָה קָרָאתָ וָאֲחַלְּצֶךָּ אֶעֶנְךָ בְּסֵתֶר רַעַם אֶבְחָֽנְךָ עַל-מֵי מְרִיבָה סֶֽלָה׃
Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
