Exodus 17:1-7

1Then all the congregation of the sons of Israel journeyed by 1stages from the wilderness of 2Sin, according to the 3command of the Lord, and camped at 4Rephidim, and there was no water for the people to drink. 2So the people 5quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water so that we may drink!” And Moses said to them, “6Why do you quarrel with me? 7Why do you test the Lord?” 3But the people were thirsty for water there; and 8they 9grumbled against Moses and said, “Why is it that you have brought us up from Egypt, to kill 10us and 11our children and 1213our livestock with thirst?” 4So Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “What am I to do with this people? A 14little more and they will stone me!” 5Then the Lord said to Moses, “Pass before the people and take with you some of 15the elders of Israel; and take in your hand your staff with which 16you struck the Nile, and go. 6Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at 17Horeb; and 18you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, so that the people may drink.” And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. 7Then he named the place 1920Massah and 2122Meribah because of the quarrel of the sons of Israel, and because they 23tested the Lord, saying, “Is the Lord among us, or not?”
