1 Then the Israelites, the whole congregation, came into the Wilderness of Zin in the first month [in the fortieth year after leaving Egypt]. And the people lived in Kadesh. Miriam died there and was buried there.

2 Now there was no water for the congregation, and they gathered together against Moses and Aaron.

3 The people contended with Moses, and said, “If only we had perished when our brothers perished [in the plague] before the LORD!

4 Why have you brought up the assembly of the LORD into this wilderness to die here, we and our livestock?

5 Why have you made us come up from Egypt, to bring us to this wretched place? It is not a place of grain or of figs or of vines or of pomegranates, and there is no water to drink.”
