1Then allH3605 the congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 journeyedH5265 by 1stagesH4550 from the wildernessH4057 of 2SinH5512, accordingH5921 to the 3commandH6310 of the LordH3068, and campedH2583 at 4RephidimH7508, and thereH369 wasH369 noH369 waterH4325 for the peopleH5971 to drinkH8354. 2So the peopleH5971 5quarreledH7378 with MosesH4872 and saidH559, “GiveH5414 us waterH4325 so that we may drinkH8354!” And MosesH4872 saidH559 to them, “6WhyH4100 do you quarrelH7378 with me? 7WhyH4100 do you testH5254 the LordH3068?” 3But the peopleH5971 wereH6770 thirstyH6770 for waterH4325 thereH8033; and 8they 9grumbledH3885 againstH5921 MosesH4872 and saidH559, “WhyH4100 is it that you have broughtH5927 us upH5927 from EgyptH4714, to killH4191 10us and 11our childrenH1121 and 1213our livestockH4735 with thirstH6772?” 4So MosesH4872 criedH6817 outH6817 to the LordH3068, sayingH559, “WhatH4100 am I to doH6213 with thisH2088 peopleH5971? A 14littleH4592 moreH5750 and they will stoneH5619 me!” 5Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “PassH5674 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971 and takeH3947 with you someH4480 of 15the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478; and takeH3947 in your handH3027 your staffH4294 with whichH834 16you struckH5221 the NileH2975, and goH1980. 6BeholdH2009, I will standH5975 beforeH6440 you thereH8033 on the rockH6697 at 17HorebH2722; and 18you shall strikeH5221 the rockH6697, and waterH4325 will comeH3318 outH3318 of it, so that the peopleH5971 may drinkH8354.” And MosesH4872 didH6213 soH3651 in the sightH5869 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478. 7Then he namedH7121H8034 the placeH4725 1920MassahH4532 and 2122MeribahH4809 becauseH5921 of the quarrelH7379 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, and becauseH5921 they 23testedH5254 the LordH3068, sayingH559, “Is the LordH3068 amongH7130 us, orH518 not?”
