Technically you’re right, but that example (moses and the others in the wild) is from the old testament which doesn’t even apply to Christians. Christians are only to follow the new testament.

Didn't jesus say that he did not come abolish the law of the prophets (aka the old testament)?

See that's kind of the thing right? The bible does a lot of back and forth on this shit where the old testament matters one second and then it doesn't the next, but that's aside the point.

Jesus himself did say this, but god rid many of the rules before that as well, so technically that would mean they would be the law of the prophets as well.

One big change for instance is the requirement of a sacrifice to worship god, yet this was changed in the new testament with the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Yes, some laws before apply such as the ten commandments, but those are also a part of the new testament, they can have overlap.

So what you're saying is that it's all a bunch of nonsense.
