What did God say would happen when Moses smote the rock in Exodus 17?
God said that when Moses smote the rock, water would come out of it—not only enough for all those millions of people, but also for all their livestock. The smiting of the rock would therefore provide abundantly for the people and their animals.
Les teaches that in Exodus 17 God told Moses to smite the rock, and out of it would come water not only for all those millions of people but for all their livestock. He notes that it was not long afterward that a river of water came out of that rock, even though Amalek came and tried to make war over that water. The provision was therefore abundant and extended to the animals as well as the people.
Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
