Hi everyone, this is Erica Kirk, and I just want to share that this episode has been recorded by one of our Bible and 365 team members due to a post-production glitch in a previous version, and so that's why we've had to start fresh.

We've refreshed it to ensure it aligns with the Bible and 365 standard of clarity and excellence, and we are blessed to have you a part of the Bible in

365 family now let's dive into the word exodus chapter 17 water from the rock

all the congregation of the people of Israel moved on from the wilderness of sin by stages

according to the commandment of the Lord, and camped at

Refadim. But there was no water for the people to drink. Therefore the people quarreled with Moses,

and said, give us water to drink. And Moses said to them, why do you quarrel with me? Why do you

test the Lord? But the people thirsted there for water,

and the people grumbled against Moses and said,

why did you bring us up out of Egypt to kill us

and our children and our livestock with thirst?

So Moses cried to the Lord,

what shall I do with this people?

They are almost ready to stone me and the Lord said to Moses

Pass on before the people taking with you some of the elders of Israel and taking your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile and go

Behold I will stand before you there on the rock of Horib

Behold I will stand before you there on the rock at Horib. Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at

Horib, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people will drink.

And Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel. And he called the name of the place,

Masa and Maraba, because of the quarrelling of the people of Israel,

and because they tested the Lord by saying, is the Lord among us or not?

Israel defeats Amalek.
