160. We divided them into twelve tribes or nations. We directed Moses by inspiration,
when his (thirsty) people asked him for water: "Strike the rock with thy staff": out of it
there gushed forth twelve springs: Each group knew its own place for w ater. We gave
them the shade of clouds, and sent down to them manna and quails, (saying): "Eat of the
good things We have provided for you": (but they rebelled); to Us they did no harm, but
they harmed their own souls.
