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

EXODUS, a "going forth," derives its name from its being occupied principally with a relation of the departure of the Israelites from Egypt, and the incidents that immediately preceded as well as followed that memorable migration. Its authorship by Moses is distinctly asserted by himself (Exodus 24:4), as well as by our Lord (Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37). Besides, the thorough knowledge it exhibits of the institutions and usages of the ancient Egyptians and the minute geographical details of the journey to Sinai, establish in the clearest manner the authenticity of this book.
