15He split rocks open in the desert, giving to our ancestors plenty of water from deep inside the earth.
16He caused a stream of water to flow from the rock; the water flowed like a river DOU.
17But our ancestors continued to sin against God; in the desert they rebelled against the one who is greater than any other god.
18By demanding that God give them the food that they desired, they tried to find out if he would always do what they requested him to do.
19They insulted God by saying, “We don't think he can supply food for us here in this desert!
20It is true that he struck the rock, with the result that water gushed/flowed out, but ◄can he also provide bread and meat for us, his people?/we doubt that he can also provide bread and meat for us, his people.►” RHQ
