Psalms 105:41
He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.
BSB
ASV
He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; They ran in the dry places like a river.
KJV
He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.
He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out. With Moses' rod and his own word he cleft the rock in the desert, and forth leaped abundant floods for their drinking where they had feared to die of thirst. From most unlikely sources the all sufficient God can supply his people's needs; hard rocks become springing fountains at the Lord's command. They ran in the dry places like a river: so that those at a distance from the rock could stoop down and refresh themselves, and the stream flowed on, so that in future journeyings they were supplied.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
