the rock This rock , which is a vast block of red granite , 15 feet long , 10 broad , and 12 high , lies in the wilderness of Rephidim , to the west of Mount Horeb , a part of Sinai. There are abundant traces of this wonderful miracle remaining at this day. This rock has been visited , drawn , and described by Dr. Shaw and others; and holes and channels appear in the stone , which could only have been formed by the bursting out and running of water.
