Ver. 15. He clave the rocks] And set them abroach, both that in Rephidim, Exodus 17:1,8, and the other in Kadesh, Num 20:1-13 Moses Nehamides, on Exodus 17:1,8, saith, that the old Jewish doctors held that the rock of Rephidim not only yielded waters like a river all those forty years wherein they were in the wilderness, but followed them also there whithersoever they went.

As out of the great depths] i.e. In great abundance, Ad satietatem usque. Rocks sooner yield fire than water; but what cannot God do?
