Numbers 20:2-13

2And there was no waterH4325 for the congregationH5712: and they gatheredH6950 themselves together against MosesH4872 and against AaronH175. 3And the peopleH5971 chodeH7378 with MosesH4872, and spakeH559, sayingH559, Would God thatH3863 we had diedH1478 when our brethrenH251 diedH1478 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068! 4And why have ye brought upH935 the congregationH6951 of YhwhH3068 into this wildernessH4057, that we and our cattleH1165 should dieH4191 there? 5And wherefore have ye made us to come upH5927 out of EgyptH4714, to bringH935 us in unto 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 the presenceH6440 of the assemblyH6951 unto the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and they fellH5307 upon their facesH6440: and the gloryH3519 of YhwhH3068 appearedH7200 unto them.

7And YhwhH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 8TakeH3947 the rodH4294, and gatherH6950 thou the assemblyH5712 together, thou, and AaronH175 thy brotherH251, and speakH1696 ye unto the rockH5553 before their eyesH5869; and it shall give forthH5414 his waterH4325, and thou shalt bring forthH3318 to them waterH4325 out of the rockH5553: so thou shalt giveH8248 the congregationH5712 and their beastsH1165 drinkH8248. 9And MosesH4872 tookH3947 the rodH4294 from beforeH6440 YhwhH3068, as he commandedH6680 him. 10And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 gatheredH6950 the congregationH6951 together beforeH6440 the rockH5553, and he saidH559 unto them, HearH8085 now, ye rebelsH4784; must we fetchH3318 you waterH4325 out of this rockH5553? 11And MosesH4872 lifted upH7311 his handH3027, and with his rodH4294 he smoteH5221 the rockH5553 twiceH6471: and the waterH4325 came outH3318 abundantlyH7227, and the congregationH5712 drankH8354, and their beastsH1165 also.

12And YhwhH3068 spakeH559 unto MosesH4872 and AaronH175, Because ye believedH539 me not, to sanctifyH6942 me in the eyesH5869 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, therefore ye shall not bringH935 this congregationH6951 into the landH776 which I have givenH5414 them. 13This isH1992 the waterH4325 of MeribahH4809; because the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 stroveH7378 with YhwhH3068, and he was sanctifiedH6942 in them.1
