- 以色列全會眾都遵耶和華的吩咐、按著站口從汛的曠野往前行、在利非訂安營.百姓沒有水喝、
- 所以與摩西爭鬧、說、給我們水喝罷。摩西對他們說、你們為甚麼與我爭鬧、為甚麼試探耶和華呢。
- 百姓在那裡甚渴、要喝水、就向摩西發怨言、說、你為甚麼將我們從埃及領出來、使我們和我們的兒女並牲畜、都渴死呢。
- 摩西就呼求耶和華說、我向這百姓怎樣行呢、他們幾乎要拿石頭打死我。
- 耶和華對摩西說、你手裡拿著你先前擊打河水的杖、帶領以色列的幾個長老、從百姓面前走過去。

- The whole Israelite community set out from the Desert of Sin, traveling from place to place as the LORD commanded. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink.
- So they quarreled with Moses and said, "Give us water to drink." Moses replied, "Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you put the LORD to the test?"
- But the people were thirsty for water there, and they grumbled against Moses. They said, "Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?"
- Then Moses cried out to the LORD, "What am I to do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me."
- The LORD answered Moses, "Walk on ahead of the people. Take with you some of the elders of Israel and take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go.
