Exodus 17:3 in Context — Exodus 17
1 Toute l’assemblée des enfants d’Israël partit du désert de Sin, selon les marches que l’Éternel leur avait ordonnées; et ils campèrent à Rephidim, où le peuple ne trouva point d’eau à boire.
2 Alors le peuple chercha querelle à Moïse. Ils dirent: Donnez-nous de l’eau à boire. Moïse leur répondit: Pourquoi me cherchez-vous querelle? Pourquoi tentez-vous l’Éternel?
3 Le peuple était là, pressé par la soif, et murmurait contre Moïse. Il disait: Pourquoi nous as-tu fait monter hors d’Égypte, pour me faire mourir de soif avec mes enfants et mes troupeaux?
4 Moïse cria à l’Éternel, en disant: Que ferai-je à ce peuple? Encore un peu, et ils me lapideront.
5 L’Éternel dit à Moïse: Passe devant le peuple, et prends avec toi des anciens d’Israël; prends aussi dans ta main ta verge avec laquelle tu as frappé le fleuve, et marche!
