NETBible

For¹ in the wilderness of Zin when the community rebelled against me, you² rebelled against my command³ to show me as holy⁴ before their eyes over the water – the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.”

NET Notes

¹tn The preposition on the relative pronoun has the force of “because of the fact that.”

²tn The verb is the second masculine plural form.

³tn Heb “mouth.”

⁴sn Using the basic meaning of the word קָדַשׁ (qadash, “to be separate, distinct, set apart”), we can understand better what Moses failed to do. He was supposed to have acted in a way that would have shown God to be distinct, different, holy. Instead, he gave the impression that God was capricious and hostile – very human. The leader has to be aware of what image he is conveying to the people.
