we divided the descendants of israel into twelve tribes and told moses to strike the rock with his staff to let twelve fountains gush out therefrom his people had asked him to supply them with water. the twelve flowing springs were divided among them and each tribe knew its drinking place well. we provided them with shade from the clouds sent down manna and quails to them for food and told them to eat the pure things which we had given them. they did not do injustice to us but they wronged themselves.
