Exodus 17:2-7

2So the people 1quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water so that we may drink!” And Moses said to them, “2Why do you quarrel with me? 3Why do you test the Lord?” 3But the people were thirsty for water there; and 4they 5grumbled against Moses and said, “Why is it that you have brought us up from Egypt, to kill 6us and 7our children and 89our livestock with thirst?” 4So Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “What am I to do with this people? A 10little more and they will stone me!” 5Then the Lord said to Moses, “Pass before the people and take with you some of 11the elders of Israel; and take in your hand your staff with which 12you struck the Nile, and go. 6Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at 13Horeb; and 14you 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 1516Massah and 1718Meribah because of the quarrel of the sons of Israel, and because they 19tested the Lord, saying, “Is the Lord among us, or not?”
