Numbers 20:2-13
2And there wasH1961 no waterH4325 for the assemblyH5712, and they gathered themselves together against MosesH4872 and against AaronH175.
3And the peopleH5971 contendedH7378 with MosesH4872, and spoke, sayingH559, Would that we had diedH1478 when our brethren diedH1478 before Jehovah!
4And whyH4100 have ye broughtH935 the congregation of Jehovah into this wildernessH4057, that we should dieH4191 there, we and our beasts?
5And whyH4100 have ye made us to goH935 up out of EgyptH4714, to bringH935 us to this evilH7451 placeH4725? it is no placeH4725 of seedH2233, or of figsH8384, or of vinesH1612, or of pomegranatesH7416, neither is there any waterH4325 to drinkH8354.
6And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 wentH935 from before the congregation to the entranceH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150, and fellH5307 upon their facesH6440; and the gloryH3519 of Jehovah appearedH7200 to them.
7And Jehovah spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559,
8TakeH3947 the staffH4294, and gather the assemblyH5712 togetherH6950, thou, and AaronH175 thy brotherH251, and speakH1696 ye unto the rockH5553 before their eyesH5869, and it shall giveH5414 its waterH4325; and thou shalt bringH3318 forthH3318 to them waterH4325 out of the rockH5553, and shalt giveH5414 the assemblyH5712 and their beasts drinkH8248.
9And MosesH4872 tookH3947 the staffH4294 from before Jehovah, as he had commandedH6680 him.
10And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 gathered the congregation togetherH6950 before the rockH5553, and he saidH559 to them, HearH8085 now, ye rebelsH4784: shall we bringH3318 forthH3318 to you waterH4325 out of this rockH5553?
11And MosesH4872 liftedH7311 up his handH3027, and with his staffH4294 smote the rockH5553 twice, and much waterH4325 cameH3318 out, and the assemblyH5712 drankH8354, and their beasts.
12And Jehovah saidH559 to MosesH4872 and to AaronH175, Because ye believedH539 me not, to hallow me before the eyesH5869 of the children of IsraelH3478, thereforeH3651 ye shall not bringH935 this congregation into the landH776 that I have givenH5414 them.
13These are the watersH4325 of MeribahH4809, whereH834 the children of IsraelH3478 contendedH7378 with Jehovah, and he hallowed himself in them.
