Hear now, ye rebels— See ch. Numbers 17:10. What we render, Must we fetch you water out of this rock? the Vulgate renders, Can we, or are we able to fetch you, &c. which Houbigant follows: an poterimus vobis aquam de ista petra extrahere? as much as to say, "What a strange demand! What! do you believe that we are able to make water flow from the rock? Who can do this but the omnipotent God?"
