Exodus 17:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ The Lord said to Moses, “Go in front of the people, and take the elders of Israel with you. Also take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. ⁶ Watch me. I will stand there in front of you on the rock in Horeb. You are to strike the rock. Water will come out of it, and the people will drink.” Moses did that in the sight of the elders of Israel. ⁷ He named the place Massah^[a] and Meribah,^[b] because the Israelites quarreled, and because they tested the Lord by saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?”
