1. In the first month the whole community of Israel arrived at the Desert of Zin. They stayed at Kadesh. Miriam died there. Her body was also buried there.
2. The people didn't have any water. So they gathered together to oppose Moses and Aaron.
3. They argued with Moses. They said, "We wish we had died when our people fell dead in front of the Lord.
4. "Why did you bring the Lord's people into this desert? We and our livestock will die here.
5. Why did you bring us up out of Egypt? Why did you bring us to this terrible place? It doesn't have any grain or figs. It doesn't have any grapes or pomegranates. There isn't even any water for us to drink!"
6. Moses and Aaron left the people. They went to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. There they fell with their faces to the ground. Then the glory of the Lord appeared to them.
