Exodus 17 · Grade 2

Water from a Rock

Name Date

Read the Story

God's people were thirsty. They argued with Moses and said, Is Yahweh among us, or not? Moses prayed. God told Moses to hit the rock with his rod. Moses did, and water came out!

Then some enemies came to fight. Joshua led Israel's soldiers. Moses went up a hill and held up his hands with God's rod. When his hands were up, Israel was winning. When they came down, the enemies were winning.

Aaron and Hur helped. They put a rock under Moses to sit on. They held up his hands, one on each side, until the sun went down. Israel won! Moses built an altar and called it Yahweh our Banner.

Memory Verse

Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb. You shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.” Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
