Exodus 17:6-8
International Standard Version
6 I’ll be standing there in front of you on the rock at Horeb. You are to strike the rock and water will come out of it, so the people can drink.” Moses did this in front of the elders of Israel.
7 He named the place Massah[a] and Meribah,[b] because the Israelis quarreled and tested the Lord by saying: “Is the Lord really among us or not?”
