Exodus 17:3-5

Jubilee Bible 2000

³ So the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses and said, Why hast thou brought us up out of Egypt to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?

⁴ Then Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.

⁵ And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people and take with thee of the elders of Israel and thy rod, with which thou didst smite the river take in thine hand and go.
