Éxodo 17:1

Listen to Éxodo 17:1
1 Agua de la roca
Por orden del Señor
, toda la comunidad de Israel partió del desierto de Sin y anduvo de un lugar a otro. Finalmente acamparon en Refidim, pero allí no había agua para que el pueblo bebiera.

Éxodo 17:1 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 17:1

And all the congregation of the children of Israel
journeyed from the wilderness of Sin
Where they had stayed some time, at least a week, as it should seem, from the gathering the manna there six days, and resting on the seventh:

after their journeys:
first from the wilderness of Sin to Dophkah, and from Dophkah to Alusb, and from Alush to Rephidim, as appears from ( Numbers 33:12-14 ) their two stations at Dophkah and Alush are here omitted, nothing very remarkable or of any moment happening at either place:

according to the commandment;
or "mouth of the Lord" F4, who, either with an articulate voice out of the cloud, ordered when they should march, and where they should encamp; or else this was signified by the motion or rest of the pillar of cloud or fire, which always went before them, in which the Lord was:

and pitched in Rephidim;
which was a place on the western side of Mount Sinai: according to Bunting F5, Dophkah was twelve miles from the wilderness of Sin, and Alush twelve miles from Dophkah, and Rephidim eight miles from Alush: and Jerom says F6, according to the propriety of the Syriac language, it signifies a remission of hands: and to which the Targum of Jonathan seems to have respect, adding,

``the place where their hands ceased from the precepts of the law, wherefore the fountains were dried up;''

and it follows:

and there was no water for the people to drink;
being a sandy desert place.

Éxodo 17:1 In-Context

1 Agua de la roca
Por orden del Señor
, toda la comunidad de Israel partió del desierto de Sin y anduvo de un lugar a otro. Finalmente acamparon en Refidim, pero allí no había agua para que el pueblo bebiera.
2 Así que el pueblo volvió a quejarse contra Moisés:
—¡Danos agua para beber! —reclamaron.
—¡Cállense! —respondió Moisés—. ¿Por qué se quejan contra mí? ¿Por qué ponen a prueba al Señor
?
3 Pero ellos, atormentados por la sed, siguieron discutiendo con Moisés:
—¿Por qué nos sacaste de Egipto? ¿Quieres matarnos de sed a nosotros, a nuestros hijos y a nuestros animales?
4 Entonces Moisés clamó al Señor
:
—¿Qué hago con este pueblo? ¡Están a punto de apedrearme!
5 El Señor
le dijo a Moisés:
—Pasa por delante del pueblo; toma tu vara, la que usaste para golpear las aguas del Nilo, y llama a algunos ancianos de Israel para que te acompañen.
