there was no water for the congregation--There was at Kadesh a fountain, En-Mishpat (Ge 14:7), and at the first encampment of the Israelites there was no want of water.

But from a religious point of view, this, which was only a common element to the cattle, was a sacrament to the people (1Co 10:3, 4) --It possessed a relative sanctity imparted to it by its divine origin and use.
