1. Then the children of Israel, the whole assembly, came to the Wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people dwelt in Kadesh, and Miriam died there and was buried there.
2. And there was no water for the assembly, and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
3. The people argued with Moses, and spoke, saying, “O that we had died when our brothers died before the Lord!
4. And why have you brought up the assembly of the Lord into this wilderness, that we and our livestock should die here?
5. And why have you brought us up from Egypt, to bring us into this evil place? It is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates. Nor is there any water to drink.”
6. Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tent of meeting, and they fell on their faces, and the glory of the Lord appeared to them.
