The image shows several figures positioned across the frame. In the center, a man with a long beard is standing and holding a staff, gesturing towards a rock with water flowing from it. He is surrounded by other bearded men in long robes. Women and children are collecting water in jugs, and some animals are drinking from the stream. In the background, there are pitched tents. A block of text at the bottom includes references to religious scripture (Exo. 17.a. and g.Reg.19.a.b.).
