Note in Numbers 20 very clearly shows that Moses did not obey the divine command when it struck the rock as he did. At that moment he seemed to lose faith and patience.

His whole attitude showed his doubts were not directed at the power of God, but rather the willingness to help those who have rebelled. Further said, Moses did not respect (cf.. V. 12) because of his language and his attitude lowers the incident holiness and therefore not pleasing to God. He has been entrusted with boldness great effort, and the perfect obedience and absolute faith in God is necessary. Consequently shows, failure to bring serious consequences for the entire nation.

In the body type did Moses appear at the Transfiguration?

Perhaps the spiritual body, called Paul (I Cor. 15:44). Difficult for us to imagine a body like that because we are so accustomed to recognize life only if he expresses itself through our senses. But it is rash to draw the conclusion that the power of the soul is dependent on the physical senses. The soul may have, or acquire after the death of the body, new ways are probably superior in terms of conveying thoughts and feelings.
