Exodus 17:4-6

International Children’s Bible

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

⁵ The Lord said to Moses, “Go ahead of the people of Israel. And take some of the elders of Israel with you. Carry with you the walking stick that you used to strike the Nile River. Now go! ⁶ I will stand in front of you on a rock at Mount Sinai. Hit that rock with the stick, and water will come out of it. Then the people can drink.” Moses did these things as the elders of Israel watched.
