In The Bible Moses who was called by God to lead the people, was a good man and he followed the word of God. But he did make a major mistake . And it was God told Moses to speak to the rock in the desert, as the people were crying out for water in the heat. But Moses stroked the rock and water gushed out. So as a punishment Moses was not allowed to put his foot in the promised land.
In the Bible, Moses is recorded to have disobeyed God twice. The first instance was when he struck the rock at Meribah instead of speaking to it as God had commanded. The second instance was when he doubted God's ability to provide water for the Israelites in the wilderness. These acts of disobedience ultimately led to Moses being prohibited from entering the Promised Land.
Moses is reported as having sent spies only once to search the land of Canaan, but the narrative in the Book of Numbers is actually two versions of the same story blended together. For this to happen, there must have been not just one but two authors (known as J and P), whose different and sometimes conflicting stories were woven together in the book.
Spies narrative of the Yahwist author (J)
13:17b-20 Moses dispatched the spies.
13:22-25 The spies travelled only as far north as Hebron (in the future kingdom of Judah).
13:27-29 The spies returned and issued their report to one person (Moses), stating that the land was 'flowing with milk and honey', but that the inhabitants were giants and and their cities fortified.
13:30 Caleb alone tried to encourage the Israelites to proceed with the conquest.
13:31,33 The spies countered Caleb's claim, stating that the land was unconquerable.
14:1b, 4 The people refused to enter Canaan and plotted to elect a new captain to lead them back to Egypt.
14:11-12 God was angry, threatening to destroy the people by plague.
14:20-25 God chose not to destroy the Israelites, instead they were to wander the desert until the present generation had died.
Spies narrative of the Priestly author (P)
13:1-17a At God's command, Moses appointed twelve heads of tribes to scout the land, and dispached them from the Wilderness of Paran.
13:21 The spies toured the entire Promised Land, 'from the Wilderness of Zin to the entrance to Hamath'.
13:25-26 The spies returned and displayed the land's fruit. They issued their report to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.
13:32-33 The report stated that Canaan was not only unconquerable, but a 'land that devours its inhabitants'.
14:1a, 2-3 The Israelites refused to enter Canaan.
14:6-10a Caleb and Joshua tried to encourage the Israelites to proceed with the conquest. The Israelites responded by calling for them to be stoned.
14: 26-35 God was angry and decreed that the Israelites will wander the wilderness for forty years, until the present sinful generation had died.
14:36-38 The spies died in a plague, all except Joshua and Caleb.
In the earlier narrative, the Yahwist author (J) represented the traditions of the southern kingdom of Judah. As far as J was concerned, the land promised to the Israelites comprised the south alone - he was not concerned with the kingdom to his north. His hero, Caleb, represented the tribe of Judah.
For the Priestly author (P), the northern kingdom had been part of the Hebrew lands prior to its destruction by the Assyrians, and therefore had to be included in the story. For similar reasons, another hero, Joshua, represented Ephraim in the north.
Twice. Once in Numbers ch.13 (which is recapped in Deuteronomy ch.1). The second time is in Numbers 21:32.See also:
In Exodus 33:11, when it says that God spoke to Moses face to face, it refers to a close, intimate relationship rather than a physical encounter. In Exodus 33:20, God explains that seeing His face directly would be too much for Moses to bear, which is why He only showed Moses His back. This was to protect Moses from being overwhelmed by God's holiness and power.
Moses obeyed God by following His instructions to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, deliver the Ten Commandments, and guide the people through the desert to the Promised Land. Moses demonstrated faith and humility in carrying out God's will despite facing many challenges along the way.
Is Moses in heaven with God?* No, not yet. Though, Moses will be in heaven soon.
God offered Moses the opportunity to intercede on behalf of the Israelites and prevent their destruction. God told Moses that He would destroy the people and make a great nation out of him instead. Moses pleaded with God for mercy and forgiveness for the Israelites, ultimately showing his great love and compassion for his people.
God appeared to Moses as a burning bush that was not consumed by the fire, symbolizing God's presence and holiness.

Yes God spoke to Moses many times, like on Mount Sinai.

three times
It was God who spoke from the burning bush, and not Moses. it happened once.
The Torah states that God spoke to Moses many times. It was Moses who received the Torah from God. See also Numbers ch. 12, and Deuteronomy, end of ch. 34, for some of the praises of Moses.

Adam and eve were the first humans to disobey god.
Moses went twice to the top of the Mount Sinai to get the ten commandments.
To disobey the law given to us. Mainly to disobey the Word of God.
Althhough it is questionable that Moses ever existed. However, as part of a story, God revealed himself once as a bright star like and Moses fainted along with the mountain (behind which the brightness (God) appeared and infront of Moses) turned into ashes later used as Kohl (surma).
Possibly it is that God spoke to Moses.
