1 The entire Israelite community entered the Wilderness of Zin in the first month, and they settled in Kadesh. Miriam died and was buried there.
2 There was no water for the community, so they assembled against Moses and Aaron.
3 The people quarreled with Moses and said, “If only we had perished when our brothers perished before the Lord.
4 Why have you brought the Lord’s assembly into this wilderness for us and our livestock to die here?
5 Why have you led us up from Egypt to bring us to this evil place? It’s not a place of grain, figs, vines, and pomegranates, and there is no water to drink! ”
