Exodus 17:2-7

2Wherefore the peopleH5971 strove with MosesH4872, and saidH559, GiveH5414 usH5414 waterH4325 that we may drinkH8354. And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto them, WhyH4100 striveH7378 ye with meH5414? wherefore doH4100 ye tempt the LORDH3068?

3And the peopleH5971 thirstedH6770 there for waterH4325; and the peopleH5971 murmuredH3885 againstH5921 MosesH4872, and saidH559, Wherefore hast thou broughtH5927 usH5921 upH5927 outH4100 of EgyptH4714, to killH4191 usH5921 and our childrenH1121 and our cattleH4735 with thirstH6772?

4And MosesH4872 criedH6817 unto the LORDH3068, sayingH559, WhatH4100 shall I doH6213 unto this peopleH5971? they be almostH4592 ready to stoneH5619 meH413.

5And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, PassH5674 on beforeH6440 the peopleH5971, and takeH3947 with thee of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478; and thy rodH4294, wherewith thou smotest the riverH2975, takeH3947 in thine handH3027, and goH1980.

6BeholdH2005, I will standH5975 beforeH6440 thee there uponH5921 the rockH6697 in HorebH2722; and thou shalt smiteH5221 the rockH6697, and there shall comeH3318 waterH4325 outH3318 of it, that the peopleH5971 may drinkH8354. And MosesH4872 didH6213 soH3651 in the sightH5869 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478.

7And he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 MassahH4532, and MeribahH4809, becauseH5921 of the striving of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and becauseH5921 they temptedH5254 the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Is the LORDH3068 among usH5921, or notH369?
