Does Moses’ punishment seem overly harsh to you? Think about this: not only does he disobey God, but he also neglects to give God the glory. “Must we bring you water from this rock!” These indications show us that something is off with Moses heart.

Jeremiah 17:10 (WEB) “I, Yahweh, search the mind. I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.”
