Which did miraculously follow them in all their travails even to the borders of Canaan. See Deu 9:21<\/span>; Psa 105:41<\/span>; 1Co 10:4<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n He brought streams also out of the rock<\/strong>,…. Which is expressed in the singular number, as also in Ps 78:20<\/span>, because the children of Israel were not come to Kadesh, and the second rock was not smitten when they lusted after flesh, and murmured against God, and tempted him, as is after related:<\/p>\n and caused waters to run down like rivers<\/strong>; from the descent of the rock, which followed them all the way in the wilderness; this was a most marvellous thing, that water should flow from a flinty rock upon striking it, from whence fire rather than water might have been expected; and that it should flow in such great abundance, and that from a rock in a wilderness.<\/p>\n (16) Rock.<\/strong>Rather, cliffsela, <\/em>the word always used of the event that took place at Kadesh (Num. 20:8-11<\/span>), as tsr <\/em>is of the rock in Horeb. The plural of this latter word in Psa. 78:15<\/span> is poetical and general.<\/p>\n 16<\/strong>. <\/strong> Caused waters to run down like rivers <\/strong> An important circumstance for their ready supply at all times without inundating the camp. As in Psa 78:15<\/span> the quantity of water is<\/p>\n mentioned, so is here its distribution, a point next in importance for the convenience of tents and flocks extending several miles down the valley es-Sheikh. The general approach of the Israelites to Sinai was from the northwest, and must, from the well-ascertained conformation of the land, have been through the broad wadies Feiran and es-Sheikh, which latter heads at the northeast base of Sinai. If we accept Jebel Mousa as the place of receiving the law, and the cleft at the “nether end” of Ras Sufsafeh as the point of its proclamation to the people, and the vast plain er-Rahah as the audience-room for assembling the people, (all which seems fully established,) then the rock in Horeb from which the waters flowed must have been somewhere along the base of Sufsafeh, or farther west at the mouth of Wady el-Lejah. Tradition locates it at the latter place. From thence the water would flow eastward along the base of Ras Sufsa-feh, where the winter torrent still flows, through a deep-cut channel, into Wady es-Sheikh, and thence through Wady Feiran into the Gulf of Suez. This whole distance of connecting valleys is about seventy miles. At the time of smiting the rock, the camp of Israel was at Rephidim, which we must locate, according to some, in the beautiful Wady Feiran, not far from where it unites with and receives the waters of es-Sheikh, twenty-miles from Horeb; or, according to others, in Wady es-Sheikh, twelve miles from the latter place; for God had said to Moses, “Go on before the people and I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb.” Exo 17:5-6<\/span>. In obedience to this order, Moses probably took the shorter route, impassable for caravans, up the Nagb Hawa, a wild gorge leading into er-Rahah from the north. After smiting the rock the people advanced up the circuitous caravan route of Wady es-Sheikh, and encamped in its broad plains at Sinai, near to where it unites with the great plain er-Rahah. We may suppose that they also occupied the numerous neighbouring wadies, many of which were fertile. This section of the valley is called, in Scripture, “the desert of Sinai.” Exo 19:1-2<\/span>. They were now chiefly in a broad, open valley, in the bed of which flowed the copious brook or river from the rock Horeb <\/strong> the same that is alluded to Deu 9:21<\/span>; Exo 32:20<\/span>. This stream continued to flow during all their stay at Sinai, about eleven months, Num 10:11-13<\/span>. Comp. Exo 19:1<\/span>. During this time we must suppose that er-Rahah served as an audience room, where the people assembled to receive the law from Moses, who, for this purpose, is supposed to have stood in the notable cleft at the perpendicular front of Ras Sufsafeh. From this point, also, they beheld the awful scenes of Sinai, for it is said that for this purpose “they were brought forth out of the camp,” (Exo 19:16-17<\/span>,) a phrase which does not at all comport with their tenting in er-Rahah, but exactly suits their encampment in es-Sheikh and neighbouring valleys. From the plain er-Rahah the bluff of Ras Sufsafeh, the northern terminus of Horeb, rises abruptly about 2,000 feet. The bluff itself is divided by a deep chasm into two peaks, and so perpendicularly does it rise from the plain, that one can easily approach and touch the mount with his hand. See Heb 12:18<\/span>, and compare Exo 19:21<\/span>; Exo 20:18<\/span>; Exo 20:21<\/span>; Deu 4:11<\/span>. The plain er-Rahah is 4,000 feet above the sea, measuring over two miles in length by a third to two thirds of a mile in width, and is capable, by actual measurement, of furnishing standing room for 2,500,000 persons, allowing a square yard for each person, (Palmer,) and is hemmed in on all sides, except the broad gap of wady es-Sheikh on the southeast, by “lofty granite ridges, with shattered peaks a thousand feet high.” From these suggestions, assisted by the accompanying diagram and cuts, the reader may form some idea of the locality of the camp and miracles alluded to in the text. The rock of Horeb is mentioned by the apostle Paul as a type of Christ, (1Co 10:4<\/span>,) from the miraculousness, copiousness, and the life-giving virtue, of its waters.<\/p>\n Psa 78:16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.<\/p>\n Ver. 16. He brought streams also out of the rock<\/strong> ] Idem enuntiat per Epexegesim, ad miraculi magnitudinem ostendendam.<\/em> The same again, to set forth the greatness of the miracle. This was a standing miracle, as was also the pillar of cloud, the pillar of fire, and the manna.<\/p>\n Psa 105:41, Deu 8:15, Deu 9:21 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Exo 17:6 – and thou Num 20:8 – bring forth 1Ki 17:6 – the ravens 2Ki 3:20 – filled Psa 114:8 – General Isa 35:6 – for Isa 41:18 – General Isa 43:19 – rivers Isa 44:3 – floods Eze 47:9 – rivers Hab 3:9 – Thou<\/p>\n He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. 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.
