Exodus 17:2-7

2Therefore the peopleH5971 contendedH7378 with MosesH4872, and saidH559, GiveH5414 us waterH4325 that we may drinkH8354. And MosesH4872 saidH559 to them, Why chideH7378 you with me? why do ye temptH5254 the LORDH3068? 3And the peopleH5971 thirstedH6770 there for waterH4325; and the peopleH5971 murmuredH3885 against MosesH4872, and saidH559, Why is this that thou hast broughtH5927 us out of EgyptH4714, to killH4191 us and our childrenH1121 and our cattleH4735 with thirstH6772? 4And MosesH4872 criedH6817 to the LORDH3068, sayingH559, What shall I doH6213 to this peopleH5971? they are almostH4592 ready to stoneH5619 me. 5And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, Go onH5674 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971, and takeH3947 with thee of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478; and thy rodH4294, with which thou smotestH5221 the riverH2975, takeH3947 in thy handH3027, and goH1980. 6Behold, I will standH5975 beforeH6440 thee there on the rockH6697 in HorebH2722; and thou shalt smiteH5221 the rockH6697, and waterH4325 shall comeH3318 out of it, that the peopleH5971 may drinkH8354. And MosesH4872 didH6213 so in the sightH5869 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478. 7And he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 MassahH4532, and MeribahH4809, because of the strivingH7379 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and because they temptedH5254 the LORDH3068, sayingH559, IsH3426 the LORDH3068 amongH7130 us, or not?12
