Salmos 78:16

16 y sacó de la peña corrientes, e hizo descender aguas como ríos

Salmos 78:16 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 78:16

He brought streams also out of the rock
Which is expressed in the singular number, as also in ( Psalms 78:20 ) , because the children of Israel were not come to Kadesh, and the second rock was not smitten when they lusted after flesh, and murmured against God, and tempted him, as is after related:

and caused waters to run down like rivers;
from the descent of the rock, which followed them all the way in the wilderness; this was a most marvellous thing, that water should flow from a flinty rock upon striking it, from whence fire rather than water might have been expected; and that it should flow in such great abundance, and that from a rock in a wilderness.

Salmos 78:16 In-Context

14 Y los llevó con nube de día, y toda la noche con resplandor de fuego

15 Hendió las peñas en el desierto; y les dio a beber de abismos grandes

16 y sacó de la peña corrientes, e hizo descender aguas como ríos

17 Pero aun tornaron a pecar contra él, enojando al Altísimo en la soledad

18 Y tentaron a Dios en su corazón, pidiendo comida al gusto de su alma
