Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 17:2

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

2, 3. the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink, c.—The want of water was a privation, the severity of which we cannot estimate, and it was a great trial to the Israelites, but their conduct on this new occasion was outrageous it amounted even to "a tempting of the Lord." It was an opposition to His minister, a distrust of His care, an indifference to His kindness, an unbelief in His providence, a trying of His patience and fatherly forbearance. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-4" class="com-number"
