THE MESSAGE
God spoke to Moses: "Take the staff. Assemble the community, you and your brother Aaron. Speak to that rock that's right in front of them and it will give water. You will bring water out of the rock for them; congregation and cattle will both drink."
New American Standard Bible (1995)
and the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Contextual Overview

1 Then all the people of Israel came to the Desert of Zin in the first month. And the people stayed at Kadesh. Miriam died there and was buried. 2 Now there was no water for the people, and they gathered together against Moses and Aaron. 3 The people complained to Moses, saying, "If only we had died when our brothers died before the Lord! 4 Why have you brought the Lord's people into this desert, for us and our animals to die here? 5 Why have you made us come up from Egypt, to bring us into this bad place? It is not a place of grain, or figs, or vines, or pomegranates. And there is no water to drink." 6 Then Moses and Aaron went from the people to the door of the meeting tent, and bowed to the ground. They saw the shining-greatness of the Lord. 7 The Lord said to Moses, 8 "Take the special stick. You and your brother Aaron gather the people together. Speak to the rock in front of them and it will give its water. So you will bring water out of the rock for them. Let the people and their animals drink." 9 So Moses took the special stick from before the Lord, just as He had told him. 10 Moses and Aaron gathered the people in front of the rock. And he said to them, "Listen now, you people who go against the Lord. Should we bring water for you out of this rock?"
