"How did Moses get water out of the rock?" (Alleged Contradiction #E5097)
… thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it …
Exodus 17:6
… speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water …
Numbers 20:8
Response
These are two completely different events separated by a long time (one is in Exodus and the other later on in Numbers). In the first event God told Moses to strike the rock, and in the second God told Moses to speak to the rock.
