Twelve springs, each tribe knew their drinking place and drank from it. (The sons of Jacob, peace be upon him, were twelve and they are the ancestors of the tribes of the Children of Israel.(
(And ˹remember˺ when Moses prayed for water for his people, We said, “Strike the rock with your staff.” Then twelve springs gushed out, ˹and˺ each tribe knew its drinking place. ˹We then said,˺ “Eat and drink of Allah’s provisions, and do not go about spreading corruption in the land.”) (Al-Baqara 2:60)
اثنتى عشرة عينا. كل حزب عرف مصدر الماء التابع له فذهب ليشرب. (أولاد يعقوب عليه السلام إثني عشر واحد و هؤلاء هم أساس الأحزاب من بني إسرائيل)
وَإِذِ اسْتَسْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ فَقُلْنَا اضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ الْحَجَرَ ۖ فَانفَجَرَتْ مِنْهُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْنًا ۖ قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُنَاسٍ مَّشْرَبَهُمْ ۖ كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا مِن رِّزْقِ اللَّـهِ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ ) )البقرة 2: 60
