Exodus 17:4-6

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴ So Moses cried to the Lord, “What can I do with these people? They are ready to kill me.”

⁵ The Lord said to Moses, “Go before the Israelites. Take some of the elders of the people with you. Carry your walking stick with you. This is the stick that you used when you hit the Nile River. ⁶ I will stand before you on a rock at Horeb.^[a] Hit that rock with the walking stick and water will come out of it. Then the people can drink.”

Moses did these things and the elders of Israel saw it.
