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?”
4 So Moses acried out to the Lord, saying, “What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to bstone me!”
5 And the Lord said to Moses, a“Go on before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Israel. Also take in your hand your rod with which byou struck the river, and go.
