Exodus 17:2-7
2Therefore the peopleH5971 1quarreledH7378 with MosesH4872 and saidH559, “GiveH5414 us waterH4325 that we may drinkH8354.” And MosesH4872 saidH559 to them, “2WhyH4100 do you quarrelH7378 with me? 3WhyH4100 do you testH5254 the LordH3068?” 3But the peopleH5971 thirstedH6770 thereH8033 for waterH4325; and 4they 5grumbledH3885 againstH5921 MosesH4872 and saidH559, “WhyH4100, nowH2088, have you broughtH5927 us up from EgyptH4714, to killH4191 6us and 7our childrenH1121 and 89our livestockH4735 with thirstH6772?” 4So MosesH4872 criedH6817 out to the LordH3068, sayingH559, “WhatH4100 shall I doH6213 to thisH2088 peopleH5971? A 10littleH4592 moreH5750 and they will stoneH5619 me.” 5Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “PassH5674 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971 and takeH3947 with you someH4480 of 11the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478; and takeH3947 in your handH3027 your staffH4294 with whichH834 12you struckH5221 the NileH2975, and goH1980. 6BeholdH2009, I will standH5975 beforeH6440 you thereH8033 on the rockH6697 at 13HorebH2722; and 14you shall strikeH5221 the rockH6697, and waterH4325 will comeH3318 out of it, that the peopleH5971 may drinkH8354.” And MosesH4872 didH6213 soH3651 in the sightH5869 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478. 7He namedH7121H8034 the placeH4725 1516MassahH4532 and 1718MeribahH4809 becauseH5921 of the quarrelH7379 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, and becauseH5921 they 19testedH5254 the LordH3068, sayingH559, “Is the LordH3068 amongH7130 us, orH518 not?”
