Exodus 17:1

Water from the Rock

1 Then ^aall the congregation of the children of Israel set out on their journey from the Wilderness of ^bSin, according to the commandment of the Lord, and camped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to ^cdrink.

2 ^aTherefore the people contended with Moses, and said, “Give us water, that we may drink.” So Moses said to them, “Why do you contend with me? Why do you ^btempt the Lord?”

3 And the people thirsted there for water, and the people ^acomplained against Moses, and said, “Why is it you have brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our ^blivestock with thirst?”

Exodus 17:1

Pitched in Rephidim - In Numbers 33:12-14 it is said, that when the Israelites came from Sin they encamped in Dophkah, and next in Alush, after which they came to Rephidim. Here, therefore, two stations are omitted, probably because nothing of moment took place at either. See the notes on Numbers 33 (note).
