【今日QT灵修—出埃及记】礼拜六 5.15 使水从盘石流出 真正的供应者

1 以色列全会众都遵耶和华的吩咐，按着站口从汛的旷野往前行，在利非订安营。 百姓没有水喝，

The whole Israelite community set out from the Desert of Sin, traveling from place to place as the LORD commanded. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink.

2 所以与摩西争闹，说，给我们水喝吧。 摩西对他们说，你们为什么与我争闹？ 为什么试探耶和华呢？

So they quarreled with Moses and said, "Give us water to drink." Moses replied, "Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you put the LORD to the test?"

3 百姓在那里甚渴，要喝水，就向摩西发怨言，说，你为什么将我们从埃及领出来，使我们和我们的儿女并牲畜都渴死呢？

But the people were thirsty for water there, and they grumbled against Moses. They said, "Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?"

4 摩西就呼求耶和华说，我向这百姓怎样行呢？ 他们几乎要拿石头打死我。

Then Moses cried out to the LORD, "What am I to do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me."

5 耶和华对摩西说，你手里拿着你先前击打河水的杖，带领以色列的几个长老，从百姓面前走过去。

The LORD answered Moses, "Walk on ahead of the people. Take with you some of the elders of Israel and take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go.

6 我必在何烈的磐石那里，站在你面前。 你要击打磐石，从磐石里必有水流出来，使百姓可以喝。 摩西就在以色列的长老眼前这样行了。

I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink." So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel.

7 他给那地方起名叫玛撒（就是试探的意思），又叫米利巴（就是争闹的意思），因以色列人争闹，又因他们试探耶和华，说，耶和华是在我们中间不是。

And he called the place Massah and Meribah because the Israelites quarreled and because they tested the LORD saying, "Is the LORD among us or not?"
