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. 7 Moses named that place Meribah[b] and Massah,[c] because this was the place that the Israelites turned against him and tested the Lord. The people wanted to know if the Lord was with them or not.
