Exodus 17:4 in Context — Exodus 17

2 E brigou o povo com Moisés, e disseram: Dá-nos água que bebamos. E Moisés lhes disse: Por que brigais comigo? Por que tentais ao SENHOR?

3 Assim que o povo teve ali sede de água, e murmurou contra Moisés, e disse: Por que nos fizeste subir do Egito para matar-nos de sede a nós, e a nossos filhos e a nossos gados?

4 Então clamou Moisés ao SENHOR, dizendo: Que farei com este povo? Daqui um pouco me apedrejarão.

5 E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Passa diante do povo, e toma contigo dos anciãos de Israel; e toma também em tua mão tua vara, com que feriste o rio, e vai:

6 Eis que eu estou diante de ti ali sobre a rocha em Horebe; e ferirás a rocha, e sairão dela águas, e beberá o povo. E Moisés o fez assim em presença dos anciãos de Israel.
