Whenever the Israelites prepared to camp, the twelve leaders of the tribes would sing
praises to the LORD, and the Mysterious Rock would gush forth four streams of life-
giving water. One stream surrounded the mishkan (Tabernacle), another surrounded the
camp of the Levites, and another surrounded all the Israelites. A fourth stream marked out
the boundaries for each of the 12 tribes of Israel.
Notice that the Apostle Paul correlated this life-giving Rock with Yeshua our Messiah:
Reader 1: “For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that our
fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all were
baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food,
and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that
followed them, and the Rock was Messiah” (1 Cor. 10:1-4).
Leader: In other words, Yeshua was the Source of Life for the Jews as they wandered in the
desert of Sinai. He was the Living Waters then just as He is today.... The Cup of Miriam,
then, commemorates His Presence as the Jews trekked their way to the Promised Land.
"I tell you the solemn
truth, the one who hears
my message and believes
the One who sent me has
eternal life (chayei olam)
and will not be
condemned, but has
passed over (i.e., µετa +
βαiνω, lit., "crossed
over") from death to life"
(John 5:24).
Reader 1:
“Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters.”
Reader 2:
Let the one who believes in me drink.
Just as the Scripture says,
“From within him will flow rivers of living water.”
