Psalms 78:16

"He split rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths."

Key Reflection

Psalms 78:16 recounts how God provided water for the Israelites in the wilderness by splitting rocks, a powerful demonstration of divine provision. This act contrasts with their subsequent rebellion; despite such miracles, the people continued to disobey and challenge God, highlighting the gap between divine grace and human ingratitude.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

He brought streams also out of the rock ... -literally, “flowings.” The waters were poured out in an over-flowing stream. Those streams continued to flow, thus constituting a continued proof of the presence of God. See this fully explained in the notes at1 Corinthians 10:4.
