Exodus 17:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ So Moses cried to the Lord, “What can I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me to death.”

⁵ The Lord said to Moses, “Go ahead of the people, and take some of the elders of Israel with you. Carry with you the ·walking stick [staff] that you used to strike the Nile River [14:21]. Now go! ⁶ I will stand in front of you on a rock at ·Mount Sinai [^LHoreb; ^Canother name for Sinai; 3:1]. ·Hit [Strike] that rock with the ·stick [staff], and water will come out of it so that the people can drink.” Moses did these things as the elders of Israel watched.
