MOSES SMITES THE ROCK

 

So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea into the wilderness. And there was no water for the people to drink.

 

          And the people murmured against Moses, and said, “Wherefore hast thou brought us up out of Egypt to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?”

 

          And Moses cried to God, saying, “What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.”

 

          And God said to Moses, “Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.

 

          “Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink.”

 

          And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

 

          And Moses called the name of the place, Meribah, because the children of Israel tempted God, saying, “is the Lord among us, or not?”
