" So we departed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw on the way to the mountains of the Amorites, as the LORD our God had commanded us. Then we came to Kadesh Barnea.

To Him who led His people through the wilderness, For His mercy [endures] forever;

Who led [them] by the right hand of Moses, With His glorious arm, Dividing the water before them To make for Himself an everlasting name,

As a beast goes down into the valley, [And] the Spirit of the LORD causes him to rest, So You lead Your people, To make Yourself a glorious name.

Neither did they say, 'Where [is] the LORD, Who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, Who led us through the wilderness, Through a land of deserts and pits, Through a land of drought and the shadow of death, Through a land that no one crossed And where no one dwelt?'

So the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many of the people of Israel died.

I knew you in the wilderness, In the land of great drought.

And the LORD said to Moses, "Go on before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Israel. Also take in your hand your rod with which you struck the river, and go.

Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank.

He split the rocks in the wilderness, And gave [them] drink in abundance like the depths.

He also brought streams out of the rock, And caused waters to run down like rivers.

He opened the rock, and water gushed out; It ran in the dry places [like] a river.

Who turned the rock [into] a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters.

The parched ground shall become a pool, And the thirsty land springs of water; In the habitation of jackals, where each lay, [There shall be] grass with reeds and rushes.

and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.
