¹⁵ Who was your guide through that great and cruel waste, where there were poison-snakes and scorpions and a dry land without water; who made water come out of the hard rock for you;

⁸ Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.

⁶ Then the Lord sent poison-snakes among the people; and their bites were a cause of death to numbers of the people of Israel.

¹¹ And lifting up his hand, Moses gave the rock two blows with his rod: and water came streaming out, and the people and their cattle had drink enough.

⁶ And they never said, Where is the Lord, who took us up out of the land of Egypt; who was our guide through the waste of sand, through an unplanted land full of deep holes, through a dry land of deep shade, which no one went through and where no man was living?

¹⁹ Then we went on from Horeb, through all that great and cruel waste which you saw, on our way to the hill-country of the Amorites, as the Lord gave us orders; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.

⁵ I had knowledge of you in the waste land where no water was.

⁴ And the same holy drink: for they all took of the water from the holy rock which came after them: and the rock was Christ.

¹² He who made the arm of his glory go at the right hand of Moses, by whom the waters were parted before them, to make himself an eternal name;

¹³ He who made them go through the deep waters, like a horse in the waste land?

¹⁴ Like the cattle which go down into the valley, they went without falling, the spirit of the Lord guiding them: so you went before your people, to make yourself a great name.

⁷ And the burning sand will become a pool, and the dry earth springs of waters: the fields where the sheep take their food will become wet land, and water-plants will take the place of grass.

¹⁶ To him who took his people through the waste land: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

⁴¹ His hand made the rock open, and the waters came streaming out; they went down through the dry places like a river.

¹⁵ The rocks of the waste land were broken by his power, and he gave them drink as out of the deep waters.

¹⁶ He made streams come out of the rock; and waters came flowing down like rivers.

¹³ He put him on the high places of the earth, his food was the increase of the field; honey he gave him out of the rock and oil out of the hard rock;

⁵ And the Lord said to Moses, Go on before the people, and take some of the chiefs of Israel with you, and take in your hand the rod which was stretched out over the Nile, and go.

⁶ See, I will take my place before you on the rock in Horeb; and when you give the rock a blow, water will come out of it, and the people will have drink. And Moses did so before the eyes of the chiefs of Israel.
