Exodus 17:3-5

Names of God Bible

³ But the people were thirsty for water there. They complained to Moses and asked, “Why did you bring us out of Egypt? Was it to make us, our children, and our livestock die of thirst?”

⁴ So Moses cried out to Yahweh, “What should I do with these people? They’re almost ready to stone me!”

⁵ Yahweh answered Moses, “Bring some of the leaders of Israel with you, and go to where the people can see you. Take the staff you used to strike the Nile River.
