And We divided them into twelve tribes as communities. And We instructed Moses when his people sought water of him: “Strike thou with thy staff the rock”; and there gushed therefrom twelve springs — each people knew its drinking-place. And We caused the cloud to overshadow them, and sent down upon them manna and quails: “Eat of the good things that We provided you.” And they wronged Us not, but they wronged their souls.
