What was Moses supposed to say to the rock in order to bring out water?

This Torah study examines the question: What was Moses supposed to say to the rock in order to bring out water? The canonical Hebrew discussion develops the issue through the weekly Torah portion and the sources cited there, preserving the distinctions, tensions and practical implications that belong to the source itself. This localized layer is designed for study and discovery; it does not add a new halakhic, medical, legal, historical or empirical ruling beyond the canonical Hebrew source.
