8 “Take the rod+ and call the assembly together, you and Aaron your brother, and YOU must speak to the crag before their eyes that it may indeed give* its water; and you must bring out water for them from the crag* and give the assembly and their beasts of burden drink.”+

15 who caused you to walk through the great and fear-inspiring wilderness,+ with poisonous* serpents+ and scorpions* and with thirsty ground that has no water; who brought forth water for you out of the flinty rock;+

15 And bread from heaven you gave them for their hunger,+ and waters out of the crag you brought forth to them for their thirst,+ and you went on to say to them to enter+ and possess the land that you had lifted your hand [in an oath] to give to them.+

21 And they did not get thirsty+ when he was making them walk even through devastated places.+ Water out of the rock he caused to flow forth for them, and he proceeded to split a rock that the water might stream forth.”+

4 and all drank the same spiritual drink.+ For they used to drink from the spiritual rock-mass+ that followed them, and that rock-mass*+ meant* the Christ.+
