They did not thirstwhen He ledthem through the deserts.He made the waterflowout of the rockfor them; He splitthe rockand the watergushedforth.
"You providedbreadfrom heavenfor them for their hunger,You broughtforthwaterfrom a rockfor them for their thirst,And You toldthem to enterin order to possessThe landwhichYou sworeto givethem.
"You gaveYour goodSpiritto instructthem, Your mannaYou did not withholdfrom their mouth,And You gavethem waterfor their thirst.
He openedthe rockand waterflowedout; It ranin the dryplaces[like] a river.
You brokeopenspringsand torrents;You driedup ever-flowingstreams.
He splitthe rocksin the wildernessAnd gave[them] abundantdrinklike the oceandepths.
He broughtforthstreamsalso from the rockAnd caused watersto rundownlike rivers.
"Behold,He struckthe rockso that watersgushedout, And streamswere overflowing;CanHe givebreadalso?Will He providemeatfor His people?"
"Behold,I will standbeforeyou thereon the rockat Horeb;and you shall strikethe rock,and waterwill comeout of it, that the peoplemay drink."And Mosesdidsoin the sightof the eldersof Israel.
On everyloftymountainand on everyhighhillthere will be streamsrunningwith wateron the dayof the greatslaughter,when the towersfall.
"They will not hungeror thirst,Norwill the scorchingheator sunstrikethem down;For He who hascompassionon them will leadthem And will guidethem to springsof water.
"With weepingthey will come,And by supplicationI will leadthem; I will make them walkby streamsof waters,On a straightpathin which they will not stumble;For I ama fatherto Israel,And Ephraimis My firstborn."
Then Mosesliftedup his handand struckthe rocktwicewith his rod;and watercameforthabundantly,and the congregationand their beastsdrank.
