As soon as they were removed thence,
they came to Rephidim,		 (33.)   Ὡς δ’ ἐκεῖθεν ἄραντες
εἰς Ῥαφιδεὶν ἧκον		 Καὶ ἀπῆρεν πᾶσα συναγωγὴ υἱῶν Ισραηλ ἐκ τῆς ἐρήμου Σιν
. . .  καὶ παρενεβάλοσαν ἐν
Ραφιδιν·

·
being distressed to the last degree by thirst; ταλαιπωρηθέντες ὑπὸ δίψους
εἰς ἔσχατον


ὕδατος δὲ καὶ πάλιν πιέσασα δεινὴ σπάνις ἐπιγίνεται·
and while in the foregoing days they had lit on a few small fountains, ἔν τε ταῖς πρότερον ἡμέραις πίδαξιν ὀλίγαις ἐντυγχάνοντες





but now found the earth entirely destitute of water, καὶ τότε παντάπασιν ἄνυδρον εὑρόντες τὴν γῆν, οὐκ ἦν δὲ ὕδωρ τῷ λαῷ πιεῖν.
(2.)  καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὕδωρ τῇ
συναγωγῇ,
they were in an evil case. ἐν κακοῖς ἦσαν

καὶ ἠθροίσθησαν ἐπὶ Μωυσῆν καὶ Ααρων. καὶ πρὸς ἀπόγνωσιν
ἤδη τραπομένων σωτηρίας,
They again turned their anger against Moses; (34.) καὶ πάλιν δι’ ὀργῆς τὸν Μωυσῆν ἐποιοῦντο. (2.)  καὶ ἐλοιδορεῖτο
ὁ λαὸς
πρὸς Μωυσῆν
λέγοντες
Δὸς ἡμῖν ὕδωρ, ἵνα πίωμεν.
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς  Μωυσῆς
Τί λοιδορεῖσθέ μοι,
καὶ τί πειράζετε κύριον; (3.)  ἐδίψησεν δὲ ἐκεῖ ὁ λαὸς ὕδατι,
καὶ ἐγόγγυζεν ἐκεῖ ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγοντες
Ἵνα τί τοῦτο ἀνεβίβασας ἡμᾶς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου 
ἀποκτεῖναι ἡμᾶς καὶ τὰ τέκνα ἡμῶν καὶ τὰ κτήνη τῷ δίψει;
(3.)  καὶ ἐλοιδορεῖτο
 ὁ λαὸς
πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγοντες
Ὄφελον ἀπεθάνομεν ἐν τῇ
ἀπωλείᾳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν ἔναντι κυρίου· 
(4.)  καὶ ἵνα τί ἀνηγάγετε
τὴν συναγωγὴν κυρίου εἰς τὴν ἔρημον ταύτην ἀποκτεῖναι ἡμᾶς
καὶ τὰ κτήνη ἡμῶν;
(5.)  καὶ ἵνα τί τοῦτο ἀνηγάγετε ἡμᾶς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου
 παραγενέσθαι εἰς τὸν τόπον τὸν πονηρὸν τοῦτον; τόπος,
οὗ οὐ σπείρεται οὐδὲ συκαῖ οὐδὲ ἄμπελοι οὐδὲ ῥόαι οὐδὲ ὕδωρ ἐστὶν
πιεῖν.
but he at first avoided the fury of the multitude, ὁ δὲ
τὴν ὁρμὴν τοῦ πλήθους πρὸς μικρὸν




and then betook himself to prayer to God, ἐκκλίνας ἐπὶ λιτὰς τρέπεται
τοῦ θεοῦ παρακαλῶν
 (4.)  ἐβόησεν δὲ Μωυσῆς
πρὸς κύριον λέγων
Τί ποιήσω τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ; ἔτι μικρὸν καὶ
καταλιθοβολήσουσίν με.
(6.)  καὶ ἦλθεν Μωυσῆς καὶ Ααρων ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς συναγωγῆς
ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐπὶ
πρόσωπον,
καὶ ὤφθη ἡ δόξα κυρίου πρὸς αὐτούς.

beseeching him, that as he had given them food when they were in the greatest want of it, ὡς τροφὴν ἔδωκεν ἀπορουμένοις



so he would give them drink, οὕτως καὶ
ποτὸν παρασχεῖν,



since the favor of giving them food was of no value to them while they had nothing to drink. διαφθειρομένης καὶ τῆς ἐπὶ τροφῇ χάριτος ποτοῦ μὴ παρόντος.





And God did not long delay to give it them, (35.) ὁ δ’ οὐκ εἰς μακρὰν τὴν δωρεὰν ἀνεβάλλετο,



but promised Moses that he would procure them a fountain, τῷ δὲ Μωυσεῖ παρέξειν ὑπισχνεῖται πηγὴν



and plenty of water, καὶ πλῆθος ὕδατος



from a place they did not expect any. ὅθεν οὐ προσδοκήσειαν,



So he commanded him to smite the rock which they saw lying there, with his rod, καὶ κελεύει τῷ βάκτρῳ πλήξαντα τὴν πέ-
τραν, ἣν ἑώρων αὐτόθι παρακειμένην,
 (5.)  καὶ εἶπεν κύριος
πρὸς Μωυσῆν
Προπορεύου
τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου,
λαβὲ δὲ μετὰ σεαυτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων τοῦ λαοῦ·
καὶ τὴν ῥάβδον, ἐν ᾗ ἐπάταξας τὸν ποταμόν,
λαβὲ ἐν τῇ χειρί σου καὶ πορεύσῃ. 

(7.)  καὶ ἐλάλησεν
κύριος
πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων
(8.)  Λαβὲ τὴν ῥάβδον καὶ ἐκκλησίασον
τὴν συναγωγὴν σὺ καὶ Ααρων ὁ ἀδελφός σου καὶ λαλήσατε πρὸς
τὴν πέτραν ἔναντι αὐτῶν, καὶ δώσει τὰ ὕδατα αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐξοίσετε
αὐτοῖς ὕδωρ ἐκ τῆς πέτρας καὶ ποτιεῖτε τὴν συναγωγὴν καὶ τὰ
κτήνη αὐτῶν.
and out of it to receive plenty of what they wanted; παρ’ αὐτῆς λαμβάνειν τὴν
εὐπορίαν ὧν δέονται·
 (6.)  ὅδε ἐγὼ ἕστηκα πρὸ τοῦ σὲ ἐκεῖ
ἐπὶ τῆς πέτρας ἐν Χωρηβ· καὶ πατάξεις τὴν πέτραν, καὶ ἐξελεύσεται
 ἐξ αὐτῆς ὕδωρ,
καὶ πίεται ὁ λαός μου.


for he had taken care that drink should come to them without any labor or pains-taking. φροντίζει γὰρ καὶ τοῦ μὴ σὺν πόνῳ μηδ’ ἐργασίᾳ τὸ ποτὸν αὐτοῖς φανῆναι.









(9.)  καὶ ἔλαβεν Μωυσῆς τὴν ῥάβδον τὴν ἀπέναντι κυρίου, καθὰ συνέταξεν κύριος·
When Moses had received this command from God, (36.) καὶ Μωυσῆς ταῦτα λαβὼν
παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ

10.)  καὶ ἐξεκκλησίασεν Μωυσῆς καὶ
Ααρων τὴν συναγωγὴν ἀπέναντι τῆς πέτρας

he came to the people, who waited for him, and looked upon him, παραγίνεται πρὸς τὸν λαὸν περιμένοντα καὶ εἰς αὐτὸν ἀφορῶντα·





for they saw already that he was coming apace from his eminence. καὶ γὰρ ἤδη καθεώρων αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῆς σκοπῆς  ὁρμώμενον.





As soon as he was come, ὡς δ’ ἧκεν,



he told them that God would deliver them from their present distress, ἀπολύειν αὐτοὺς καὶ ταύτης τῆς ἀνάγκης
τὸν θεὸν ἔλεγε


καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς
Ἀκούσατέ μου, οἱ ἀπειθεῖς· μὴ ἐκ τῆς πέτρας ταύτης ἐξάξομεν
ὑμῖν ὕδωρ;

and had granted them an unexpected favor; καὶ χαρίσασθαι σωτηρίαν οὐδ’ ἐλπισθεῖσαν



and informed them, that a river should run for their sakes out of the rock. ἐκ τῆς πέτρας ποταμὸν αὐτοῖς ῥυήσεσθαι λέγων.
 



But they were amazed at that hearing, (37.) τῶν δὲ πρὸς τὴν ἀκοὴν
καταπλαγέντων,



supposing they were of necessity to cut the rock in pieces, εἰ ὑπό τε τοῦ δίψους καὶ τῆς ὁδοιπορίας τεταλαι-
πωρημένοις ἀνάγκη γένοιτο κόπτειν τὴν πέτραν,



now they were distressed by their thirst and by their journey;




while Moses only smiting the rock with his rod, ὁ Μωυσῆς πλήττει
τῇ βακτηρίᾳ, 
 ἐποίησεν δὲ Μωυσῆς
οὕτως
ἐναντίον τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ.
(11.)  καὶ ἐπάρας Μωυσῆς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπάταξεν τὴν
πέτραν τῇ ῥάβδῳ δίς, 
λαβὼν Μωυσῆς τὴν ἱερὰν βακτηρίαν
ἐκείνην δι’ ἧς τὰ κατ’ Αἴγυπτον ἀπετέλεσε σημεῖα, θεοφορηθεὶς τὴν
ἀκρότομον πέτραν παίει
opened a passage, 
καὶ χανούσης


. . .
and out of it burst water, ἐξέβλυσεν ὕδωρ


καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὕδωρ πολύ,
and that in great abundance, and very clear. πολὺ καὶ διαυγέστατον.


ἀναστομωθεῖσα τῇ
βίᾳ τῆς φορᾶς κρουνηδὸν ἐκχεῖται,
But they were astonished at this wonderful effect;
(38.) οἱ δὲ τῷ παραδόξῳ τοῦ γεγονότος κατεπλάγησαν,



and, as it were, quenched their thirst by the very sight of it. καὶ πρὸς τὴν
ὄψιν αὐτοῖς ἤδη τὸ δίψος ἔληγε,



So they drank this pleasant, this sweet water;
καὶ πίνουσιν
ἡδὺ καὶ γλυκὺ
 τὸ νᾶμα

καὶ ἔπιεν 
ἡ συναγωγὴ καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν.
and such it seemed to be, as might well be expected where God was the donor. καὶ οἷον ἂν εἴη θεοῦ τὸ δῶρον δόντος ἐφαίνετο·



They were also in admiration how Moses was honored by God; τόν τε οὖν
Μωυσῆν ἐθαύμαζον οὕτως ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ τετιμημένον,



and they made grateful returns of sacrifices to God for his providence towards them. καὶ θυσίαις
ἠμείβοντο τὴν τοῦ θεοῦ περὶ αὐτοὺς πρόνοιαν.



Now that Scripture, which is laid up in the temple, informs us, 
δηλοῖ δὲ ἐν τῷ
ἱερῷ ἀνακειμένη γραφὴ



how God foretold to Moses, τὸν θεὸν προειπεῖν Μωυσεῖ



that water in this manner should be derived out of the rock. οὕτως ἐκ τῆς
πέτρας ἀναδοθήσεσθαι ὕδωρ.






(7.)  καὶ ἐπωνόμασεν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου
 Πειρασμὸς καὶ Λοιδόρησις διὰ τὴν λοιδορίαν
τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ καὶ
διὰ τὸ πειράζειν κύριον λέγοντας
Εἰ ἔστιν κύριος
ἐν ἡμῖν ἢ οὔ;
(12.)  καὶ εἶπεν κύριος
πρὸς Μωυσῆν
καὶ Ααρων
 Ὅτι οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε ἁγιάσαι με ἐναντίον υἱῶν Ισραηλ,
διὰ τοῦτο
οὐκ εἰσάξετε ὑμεῖς τὴν συναγωγὴν ταύτην εἰς τὴν γῆν,
ἣν δέδωκα αὐτοῖς.
(13.)  τοῦτο ὕδωρ ἀντιλογίας, ὅτι ἐλοιδορήθησαν οἱ
υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἔναντι κυρίου καὶ ἡγιάσθη ἐν αὐτοῖς.
