¶ The frydaye next folowynge. Epistle.
IN these days when there was no water for the multitude / they gathered1 them selves together against Moses & against Aaron. And the people did chide with Moses & spake saying: would god we had perished when our brethren perished before the lord. Why have ye brought y• congregation of y• lord into this wilderness / y• both we & our cattle should dye here? wherefore lead ye us out of Egypt to br•ge us unto this ungracious place / which no place of seed nor of fig nor ⟨image 413⟩vines nor of pome garnardes / nether is there any water to drink? And moses and Aaron went from the congregation unto the door of the tabernacle of witness / and fell on their faces: and the glory of the lord appeared unto them. And the Lord spake unto Moses saying: take the staff / and gather / thou and thy brother Aaron the congregation together / & say unto the rock before their eyes / that he give forth his water. And thou shalt bring them water out of the rock / and shalt give the company drink / and their bests also. And Moses took the staff from before the lord as he commanded him. And Moses & Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock / and he said unto them / hear ye rebellious / must we fetch you water out of this rock? And Moses lift up his hand with his staff and smote the rock two times and the water came out abundantly / and the multitude drank / and their bests also. And the lord spake unto Moses and Aaron / because ye believed me not / to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel / therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them. This is the water of strife / because y children of Israel strove with y lord / & he was sanctified upon them.
