Psalms 78:15

Compare all

13 ^aHe divided the sea and caused them to pass through;
And ^bHe made the waters stand up like a heap.

14 ^aIn the daytime also He led them with the cloud,
And all the night with a light of fire.

15 ^aHe split the rocks in the wilderness,
And gave them drink in abundance like the depths.

16 He also brought ^astreams out of the rock,
And caused waters to run down like rivers.

17 But they sinned even more against Him
By ^arebelling against the Most High in the wilderness.

18 And ^athey tested God in their heart
By asking for the food of their fancy.

Psalms 78:15

He clave the rocks in the wilderness - There were two occasions on which the rock was smitten for water; one Exodus 17:6 at Mount Horeb, shortly after they came out of Egypt; and the other Numbers 20:11, when they had nearly ceased their wanderings in the wilderness. Hence, the plural term (rocks) is used here.

And gave them drink as out of the great depths - As if he had formed a lake or an ocean, furnishing an inexhaustible supply.
