EXODUS 17

\n

Water From the Rock

\n

1The whole Israelite community set out from the Desert of Sin, traveling from place to place as the\xa0Lord\xa0commanded. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink.\xa02 So they quarreled with Moses and said, \u201cGive us water to drink.\u201d Moses replied, \u201cWhy do you quarrel with me? Why do you put the\xa0Lord\xa0to the test?\u201d

\n

3 But the people were thirsty for water there, and they grumbled against Moses. They said, \u201cWhy did you bring us up out of Egypt to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?\u201d4 Then Moses cried out to the\xa0Lord, \u201cWhat am I to do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me.\u201d

\n

5 The\xa0Lord\xa0answered Moses, \u201cGo out in front of the people. Take with you some of the elders of Israel and take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go.\xa06 I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink.\u201d So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel.\xa0

\n

7 And he called the place Massah\xa0and Meribah\xa0because the Israelites quarreled and because they tested the\xa0Lord\xa0saying, \u201cIs the\xa0Lord\xa0among us or not?\u201d
