Subject: The Rock of Israel in the Wilderness? |
Bible Note: Hi Jim E, You seem to be pretty good at figuring things out, from reading your previous posts. Considering the total population that came out of Egypt, men, woman, and children, including all the cattle added in: approximately how large a “pipe” or hole, would you think it would have taken to supply enough water for all of Israel’s needs? It sure wasn’t a trickle coming out of that rock, as most people have pictured in their minds; I’m guessing a minimum of a 30” pipe or larger and really gushing at full tilt! Have fun, CDBJ |
