Exodus 17:5-7
New International Version
5 The Lord answered Moses, “Go out in front of the people. Take with you some of the elders of Israel and take in your hand the staff(A) with which you struck the Nile,(B) and go. 6 I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb.(C) Strike(D) the rock, and water(E) will come out of it for the people to drink.” So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel. 7 And he called the place Massah[a](F) and Meribah[b](G) because the Israelites quarreled and because they tested the Lord saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?”

Exodus 17:5-7
New King James Version
5 And the Lord said to Moses, (A)“Go on before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Israel. Also take in your hand your rod with which (B)you struck the river, and go. 6 (C)Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.”
And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. 7 So he called the name of the place (D)Massah[a] and [b]Meribah, because of the contention of the children of Israel, and because they [c]tempted the Lord, saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?”

nuBibeln (Swedish Contemporary Bible)
5 Herren sa till Mose: ”Ta med dig några av de äldste i Israel och gå framför folket. Ta också med dig den stav du hade när du slog på Nilen. 6 Jag ska stå framför dig där på klippan vid berget Horeb[a]. Slå på klippan med din stav, så ska vatten komma fram ur den. Då ska folket få att dricka.” Mose gjorde så inför de äldste i Israel. 7 Han kallade platsen Massa och Meriva[b] för det var där israeliterna klagade på Mose och prövade Herren genom att säga: ”Är Herren mitt ibland oss eller inte?”
