1 In the first month the whole community of Israel came to the wilderness of Zin and camped at Kadesh. There Miriam died and was buried.
2 There was no water where they camped, so the people gathered round Moses and Aaron
3 and complained: “It would have been better if we had died in front of the Lord's Tent along with our fellow-Israelites.
4 Why have you brought us out into this wilderness? Just so that we can die here with our animals?
