The Hebrew root word here is "הָפַךְ" (haphak), which means to turn, overturn, or transform. This transformation is not merely a physical change but a miraculous act that signifies God's sovereignty over nature. Historically, this refers to the events during the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, where God provided water from a rock, demonstrating His ability to provide and sustain His people in the most barren circumstances.<p><b>the rock</b><br />The term "rock" in Hebrew is "צוּר" (tsur), often symbolizing strength, stability, and permanence. In the context of the Exodus, the rock represents an obstacle or a challenge that seems insurmountable. Yet, it is precisely this unyielding surface that God chooses to transform, illustrating that no barrier is too great for His power. Theologically, the rock can also be seen as a metaphor for Christ, who is referred to as the spiritual rock in <a href="/1_corinthians/10-4.htm">1 Corinthians 10:4</a>, providing living water to believers.<p><b>into a pool</b><br />The Hebrew word for "pool" is "אֲגַם" (agam), which signifies a body of water, often calm and life-sustaining. This transformation from rock to pool is a vivid image of God's provision and care. In a desert environment, a pool represents life, refreshment, and hope. This miraculous provision underscores God's ability to bring life and abundance out of desolation and hardship, a theme that resonates throughout Scripture.<p><b>the flint</b><br />"Flint" in Hebrew is "חַלָּמִישׁ" (challamish), a type of hard, sedimentary rock. Flint is known for its hardness and ability to produce sparks when struck, symbolizing resilience and potential. In the biblical narrative, the flint represents the seemingly impossible situations that God can transform. The use of flint emphasizes the miraculous nature of the event, as it is even less likely to yield water than ordinary rock.<p><b>into a fountain of water</b><br />The phrase "fountain of water" in Hebrew is "מַעְיָן מָיִם" (ma'yan mayim), suggesting a continuous and abundant source of water. A fountain is not just a static pool but a dynamic, flowing source, symbolizing the living and active provision of God. This transformation signifies not only God's provision but also His generosity and the overflowing nature of His blessings. In a spiritual sense, it points to the living water that Christ offers, which quenches spiritual thirst and brings eternal life.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/114.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 8.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Which turned the rook into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters</span> (see <a href="/exodus/17-6.htm">Exodus 17:6</a>; <a href="/numbers/20-11.htm">Numbers 20:11</a>).
