Exodus:17:1-6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin ,
after their journeys ,
according to the commandment of the LORD ,
and pitched in Rephidim :
and there was no water for the people to drink .
*
Wherefore the people did chide with Moses ,
and said ,
Give us water that we may drink .
And Moses said unto them ,
Why chide ye with me ?
wherefore do ye tempt the LORD ?
*
And the people thirsted there for water ;
and the people murmured against Moses ,
and said ,
Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt ,
to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst ?
*
And Moses cried unto the LORD ,
saying ,
What shall I do unto this people ?
they be almost ready to stone me .
*
And the LORD said unto 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 .
