Exodus 17:1-7 — Water from the Rock
Exod.17.1-7
1Then the whole congregation of the Israelites set out from the Wilderness of Sin , traveling by stages according to the command of the LORD. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink. 2So the people quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water to drink.” Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the LORD?” 3But the people thirsted there for water, and the people grumbled against Moses and said, “Why did you bring us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?” 4Then Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, “What should I do with this people? A little more and they will stone me!” 5The LORD said to Moses, "Pass on ahead of the people and take some of the elders of Israel with you. Take in your hand your staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. 6Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb. You shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, so that the people may drink." And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. 7He named the place Massah and Meribah because of the quarreling of the Israelites, and because they tested the LORD, saying, “Is the LORD among us or not?”
