1In the first month all the children of Israel came into the waste land of Zin, and put up their tents in Kadesh; there death came to Miriam, and they put her body to rest in the earth.
2And there was no water for the people: and they came together against Moses and against Aaron.
3And the people were angry with Moses and said, If only death had overtaken us when our brothers came to their death before the Lord!
4Why have you taken the Lord's people into this waste, for death to come to us and to our cattle there?
5Why have you made us come out of Egypt into this evil place? This is no place of seed or figs or vines or other fruits, and there is no water for drinking.
6Then Moses and Aaron went away from the people to the door of the Tent of meeting; and, falling on their faces there, they saw the glory of the Lord.
