14. In the daytime also He led them with a [pillar of] cloud and all the night with a light of fire. [Exod. 13:21; 14:24.]
15. He split rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink abundantly as out of the deep.
16. He brought streams also out of the rock [at Rephidim and Kadesh] and caused waters to run down like rivers. [Exod. 17:6; Num. 20:11.]
17. Yet they still went on to sin against Him by provoking and rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness (in the land of drought).
18. And they tempted God in their hearts by asking for food according to their [selfish] desire and appetite.
19. Yes, they spoke against God; they said, Can God furnish [the food for] a table in the wilderness?
20. Behold, He did smite the rock so that waters gushed out and the streams overflowed; but can He give bread also? Can He provide flesh for His people?
