It occurred in the wilderness. In terms of where in The Bible it occurs, this is Numbers chapter 20.
Numbers 20:7-12 (NIV): 7 The Lord said to Moses, 8 "Take the staff, and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water. You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink."
9 So Moses took the staff from the Lord's presence, just as he commanded him. 10 He and Aaron gathered the assembly together in front of the rock and Moses said to them, "Listen, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?" 11 Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank.
12 But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them."

What is the English translation and reference of 'Wathinta abafazi wathinti mbhokodo'?
From the About Us page for Strike the Rock Foundation (http://striketherock.isat.co.za/Index_files/page0001.htm) In 1956 when South African women fought against apartheid's passbook laws they sang: "Wathint' abafazi, wathint' imbokodo", meaning "You strike the woman, you strike the rock). We believe that women and their children are the foundation of society and must be treated with respect, honor and dignity. In the Bible, God told Moses to strike the rock with a stick so that water would flow from it to nourish the people who were traveling out of Egypt to the Promised Land: "'and when you get to the rock at Mount Sinai, I will be there with you. Strike the rock with the stick, and water will pour out for the people to drink.' Moses did this while the leaders watched." This suggests that the rock is the source of life and nourishment for all people.
