He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave [them] drink as [out of] the great depths.

He clave {H1234}{H8762)} the rocks {H6697} in the wilderness {H4057}, and gave them drink {H8248}{H8686)} as out of the great {H7227} depths {H8415}.

He clave rocks in the wilderness, And gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.
