Numbers 20:1-6

¹It was during the first month of the year that all the Israelites arrived in the Desert of Zin and set up camp in Kadesh. (This was where Miriam died and was buried.)

²However, there was no water there for anyone to drink, so the people gathered to confront Moses and Aaron.

³They argued with Moses, saying, “If only we'd died with our relatives in the Lord's presence!

⁴Why have you brought the Lord's people into this desert just so we and our livestock can die here?

⁵Why did you lead us out of Egypt to come to this awful place? Nothing grows here—no grain or figs or vines or pomegranates. And there's no water to drink!”

⁶Moses and Aaron left the people and went to entrance of the Tent of Meeting. There they fell facedown on the ground, and the glory of the Lord appeared to them.
