I divided the people of Moses [a big community of some two million] into twelve clans and told Moses to strike a certain rock with his staff while they were all thirsty. Suddenly twelve springs gushed forth from the stone and each clan intuitively went to its assigned spring. I covered them with the shade of the cloud and sent them manna and quails [from the sky.] I wanted them to eat pure things [and be grateful.] What they ended up doing did not hurt Me the least, they simply did injustice to their own souls."
