Exodus 17:1-7
Excerpted from: Christ Our RockWe have water, here, gushing from the rock in Horeb, and it sustains the whole congregation of Israel—2 million or more people, and all their livestock. So, this could not have been a dribble to assuage their thirst. This had to have been a river coming out of the rock. People drink and animals drink a lot of water. And they were thirsty people and animals too. And so, what was performed here was a tremendous miracle.
Here we have a rock, who knows how big it was, but obviously this is one of those words that we talked about earlier—either sela, or sur—a huge rock. And when Moses struck the rock, it says, which God told him to do, a big crack opened, and water came out.
I am sure that it made a huge pool so that the people could come and drink and lead their animals to drink as well. This is the picture that we need to have in mind. Now, when God gives drink for His people, He does not give a trickle.
