Exodus 17:4-6

New International Version

⁴ Then Moses cried out to the Lord, “What am I to do with these people? They are almost ready to stone^(A) me.”

⁵ The Lord answered Moses, “Go out in front of the people. Take with you some of the elders of Israel and take in your hand the staff^(B) with which you struck the Nile,^(C) and go. ⁶ I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb.^(D) Strike^(E) the rock, and water^(F) will come out of it for the people to drink.” So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel.
