1 The people of Israel arrived at the Zin Desert during the first month and set up camp near the town of Kadesh. It was there that Miriam died and was buried.
2 The Israelites had no water, so they went to Moses and Aaron
3 and complained, “Moses, we'd be better off if we had died along with the others in front of the Lord's sacred tent.
4 You brought us into this desert, and now we and our livestock are going to die!
5 Egypt was better than this horrible place. At least there we had grain and figs and grapevines and pomegranates. But now we don't even have any water.”
