“And why have you made us come up out of Egypt to bring us to this evil place? ... there is no water to drink” (v5). In the wilderness of Zin, the people were desperately thirsty and viewed their surroundings as hopeless and “evil”. As always, God responded to them and appeared in “glory” to Moses and Aaron. The rock yielded water, but Moses and Aaron gave in to anger, and they failed in their task to help the people see God’s holiness (20:12; 21:4-9).   

 “When we cried to the Lord, he heard our voice ...” (v16). God’s purpose in rescuing and providing is not just to meet our temporary need, but to show us his character and invite us to know him.
